The command line app urpmi is working O.K. for me, unfortunately,
trying to get the latest version of RpmDrake up & running has broken
X - shouldn't have forced it :o).
I figure it must be a problem with IP-Masqueradeing , if you have checked
the configuration options in kpackage & rpmdrake - sorry, I don't know a
thing about it - best advice I can give is check the HOWTO.
Try starting them in konsole (without &) - then you can see any
messages they generate.
