In short, No.

Long story (as I understand it): the dbus-qt3 bindings were recently 
removed from upsgream dbus due to lack of maintainership.  So, the 
version of dbus on fc5 is new enough to not even include those bindings. 
  The good news is that there is a new dbus-qt maintainer (for both qt3 
and qt4), but the new qt3 bindings aren't binary compatible with the old 
ones, and aren't distributed with dbus.  So the question is, does 
kentworkmanager need/use the old no-longer-available dbus/qt3 bindings, 
or is it asking for the new (not-yet-available) dbus/qt3  bindings?
