You are using the wrong application from within KDE.  You should be
using "System Tools"->"Red Hat Network".  That will launch up2date. 
You can also use up2date from the terminal to perform updates.  You
can also click on "System Tools"->"Red Hat Network Alert Icon" to
place an icon on your toolbar so that you get notifications of
updates. (By the way, the Red Hat Network Alert icon is loaded by
default in Gnome.)
