This is the situation for all KDE programs -- KDE team in Fedora
is apparently so small that they managed to do anything else than
just repackaging upstream tarballs (I don't know more about that
being GNOMEr, but I have certainly nothing against KDE -- I would
use it myself, if not being employed in RH desktop team). You had
problem with umbrello, but exactly the same situation is with
kmail, knode, and others. See this example:
[root@viklef ~]# yum list kmail knode konqueror konsole kwrite \
kword koffice kspread kopete

Of course, it would be nice to create kmail as a subpackage of
kdepim (as it is done in Debian --
http://packages.debian.org/sarge/kmail is a subpackage of source
package kdepim -- see "Source" label on the top of the page), but
I am afraid it would be asking KDE team to do more work than they
are able to do.
Best,
Matěj

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember
that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.
Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a
reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.
