I'm *guessing* you got the wrong version of the KDE RPMs.
Next time you might try using RPMfind.net to find the
MANDRAKE 6.x KDE 1.1.2 updates, or go to
www.linux-mandrake.com to find the list of mirrors and find
the RPM files there.
I'm guessing what happened is you have the RH 5.x KDE
updates instead of the RH 6.x KDE updates. RH 6.x was the
first RedHat version to incorporate the KDE desktop, etc
and there is a HUGE difference as to where the KDE files
are put when they are installed via RPM.
Here's an FTP site for Mandrake updates:
ftp.linux-mandrake.com/pub/updates/6.0/RPMS/
Try doing and rpm -e kde* and then an RPM -UVH kde* once
you download all the MANDRAKE KDE updates.
