This has happened on all three installs right 'out of the box' No KDE
components installed. At least that I know of.
One 'customization' is I deselected Office Apps at the install, knowing
that they have been updated, so I would add them AFTER the install via
yumex. Otherwise with perhaps some disk druid customizations (and then
NOT on one install) this is FC10 out-of-the-box.
