Hello, Everyone
I ended up uninstalling all of the kde-redhat KDE packages.  Then I
disabled the kde-redhat repo from /etc/yum.repos.d.  Then did "yum
install kde* kde*-devel*" and now all the above mentioned problems are
fixed.  So, apparently there was an issue with at least the kde-redhat
redhat-menus RPM.  I don't know what caused my other issue mentioned
above, or what caused the file-association issue that I did not
mention.  But after reinstalling kde from Fedora Core and Fedora Core
Updates, All is now well.
