_I_ didn't ask for pulseaudio... It just appeared (somehow).

You'd get that, plus any new default stuff via:
> yum groupinstall kde-desktop


Right, but my point is that... I had an already running, installed system,
I did a yum update and now I get error/warning messages.
- I didn't do anything wrong.
- The system allowed a 'bad' thing to happen.
  - The system didn't auto-add 'kde-settings-pulseaudio',
- I didn't know I (now) needed 'kde-settings-pulseaudio'.
