What _is_ often needed is to update the system after the updates are installed, eg, I use an alias (as root), 'upall' alias upall='rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && ldconfig -v && update-menus -v -n' Then log out and back into KDE to fully realize the updates. It's a good idea to use while logged out to restart the X server. Specially if updates were to X.
