[ale] RedHat sabotages KDE...again!

I have found one other reason it is a mistake to get rpm's for KDE from 
RedHat. RedHat's rpm for kdelibs doesn't include the plugins needed to make 
KDE work with CUPS. KDE's kprinter function together with CUPS is one of the 
nicest printer interfaces I have seen in Linux. So, RedHat, in its wisdom, 
removes the parts that make it work. I learned earlier that if you get the 
kdebase rpm from RedHat, it doesn't include kmenuedit, which allows you to 
edit your pop-up menu. Somebody had to make a conscious decision to remove 
this stuff. I'm starting to hate RedHat!
