It is checking and pulling in all sorts of packages for me that relate 
to the KDE environment. Maybe try yum groupinstall to see what FC5 calls 
it. This group might be different for FC6 to be.

  yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"

Is this ok [y/N]:



ksmserver is something related to kde. I believe that yum install 
ksmserver might pull in the package you want. I have not tried out that 
command though before. I read discussions related to people typing in 
libraries as arguments to yum install, so maybe!
