It's a copy I got from ftp.kde.org, and it's worked just fine for several RH

You can also get the RPMs for Red Hat from the RH Raw Hide tree.  They're
the exact same packages....

Huh?  Red Hat makes the Red Hat KDE packages.  I'm not sure how much 
friendlier they can be....

Other distros have had to, because they, for example, forgot to package
needed libraries the first time....
