So what I did was go thru the whole GNORPM listings, and uninstalling
anything that said KDE. Or anything that said it depended on any of
those things.

By hand.

Damn annoying way to do it, but eventually it worked.

(BTW - "rpm -e kde*" did NOT work; idiot thing said there were no
packages named kde* installed.

::SIGH::

Anyway, I eventually installed all the KDE2 RPMs (I had to intall with
the --force option, even after uninstalling the old ones, but what the
hell).

So now I have it - altho I seem to be missing some icons, for some of
the apps.
