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 :-)].
