Did you check the 'everything' box when you installed?  If so, it
might be best to go back and reinstall as a workstation with
only the packages you expect to use.  You probably only need
one of kde or gnome.  If you happen to miss an individual
program you want out of the packaged bundles you can always
'yum install' it later.
