Well,  I decided to use KDE as my desktop and finally figured out what 
was broke. I had no music playback! So I played and thought and played 
and thought finally decided to uninstall the packages that seemed (from 
the conflict error messages) to conflict. libavutil49 was the culprit. 
After yum remove that I was able to yum install the xine* k3b* and 
gstreamer* that I had removed. Those installations seemed to add back in 
what I had removed with libav*.

I'm still going back to GNOME though. I can't really give a reason. I 
like some of the KDE apps. KWord is perfect for my needs. OpenOffice 
doesn't render stuff correctly on my display/video combination (GeForce 
440/Compaq monitor)  and I prefer Dolphin to Nautilus. But they run on 
GNOME so no problem

Thanks again for all the help guys....

Happy Feet
