Nope since I'd removed everything via urpme rpm -e and then using rm -Rf
I removed anything and everything left behind. Then I did 

urpmi kdebase-kdm 

(which is what I actually want running) and said yes to everything it
wanted to install

Like I said X worked well, so did gdm for that matter.  There really are
only 3 things I want out of kde Konqueror, kdm and kate.  So I tried an
experiment.  Since installing from the cooker wasn't working (I'm
running cooker on this box.)  I backed off to the rc1 disk version (the
last one that worked that I can still get ) and poof ... everything
worked.  When and if they get the hdlist.cz matching the actual files in
cooker I'll let the upgrade run again and see what happens.  More and
More it seems to be related to the latest qt3.  I filed the bug report
but was told they couldn't duplicate my problem.
