I think the packages 'kdelibs' and 'kdesupport' are what's needed. They
seem to depend on (according to RPM) on:

	Qt
	X11, Xext
	libjpeg
	libungif
	gdbm
	standard m, stdc++, c -libraries

Not that bad, and I think most stuff comes with a normal distribution
nowadays. Of course the RPM:s may have missing dependencies...
