Removing:

@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201103021619.x86_64/6 139 k
Removing for dependencies:
gnome-screensaver x86_64 2.28.3-8.el6
Try rpm -q --requires libxklavier-4.0-7
"Removing for dependencies" in the yum output
appears (to me) to mean
these packages were installed because libxklavier-4.0-7
required them. nothing else requires them,
so I'll remove them too.
... but I'm only guessing.
