I suspect that there are problems with Fedora Core.  I have no proof but I 
do know that its GLibc is hacked and contains at least some code from 
version 2.3.3 although that version has not been released yet.  This may, 
or may not, be the source of the problems.

The KDE-RedHat project has released RPMs for Fedora Core 2:

ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/2/RPMS.stable

Have you tried these?
