KDE and GNOME don't get along

[Chessley Hungerford]

I just installed Fedora 2 on my system and I was disappointed that I 
couldn't find a graphical RPM interface, I know that KDE has a package 
manager so I used the add/remove apps function to add KDE to my 
installation.  Well I wasn't just disappointed fo find that the fedora 
version of KDE didn't have a package manager, but when as soon as I 
logged in I was bombarded with error messages All of them related to 
various applets of the COBRA system.  currently KDE is working without 
sound, and GNOME loads without sound, or any of the standard 
desktop/panel icons (ie all desktop icons showup as generic piecs of 
paper).  Any help would be appriciated.
