This is probably a distro specific issue so you would probably get 
more help on a RedHat list.  But, someone here might have an answer.

The general consensus in the KDE community is that RedHat >= 8.0 
doesn't work and that the cure is to either install KDE (and Qt & 
aRts) from source (expect some problems with Xft, FreeType2 and/or 
FontConfig) or get the RPMs from:

http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/

I installed from source with RedHat 8.0 and have not updated to RedHat 
9.0 [probably never will :-)].
