kdebase-workspace.i386 : K Desktop Environment - Workspace

Installing that on my system would pull in 25 packages (and 74MB).  I
didn't select KDE at install time and haven't installed any kde apps -
yet.  Disk and bandwidth are reasonably cheap for me, so that doesn't
seem like a very high price to pay to check out another display
manager.  YMMV.  :-)
