I did a rpm -qf /usr/bin/kopete and this was the result

kdenetwork-3.5.4-4.fc6

So I'm guessing it's part of the kdenetwork package (man I'm smart sometime *grin*)

Looking on this page http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/kdenetwork.html it seems I 
can remove it without break too much :-)

Any thing I should check first ??
