How to uninstall old KDE

[Job 317]

Well, I was unable to remove the 'arts' but it was still required by
other applications (libao, gstreamer-plugins, and timidity++).

Also, I could not remove qt due to dependencies of xojpanel, arts and
redhat-artwork...

It's an endless chain.

I did not try the rpm --nodeps flag (which I only learned after the
fact) so I hope I'm not setting myself up for trouble down the road.

Additionally, I removed many apps like: 

koffice, koffice-devel,
kde-i18n-*, 
kde2-compat,
kdoc, 
licq-kde,
licq-qt,
qt-cups,
qt-cups-devel,
PyQT-examples, PyQT-devel, PyQT, 
kdbg, 
kdevelop,
kpppload,
tora,
switchdesk-kde
UnixODBC-kde
wordtrans-kde
etc. 

Not sure if these would have been taken care of by a different step in
the removal but I wanted a complete upgrade including new development,
games, etc so I got rid of it all.
