   Nah, it shouldn't be; no more than having Gnumeric and SameGnome
installed.  But it's very likely an issue dns, or possibly of up2date's
setup.  Show us your /etc/hosts file...

    You really shouldn't have to; very, very little (if any) of that
code is even running.  Even if you run, say, licq which uses the QT
libraries, that's all that gets loaded.

    But if you really want to dump it, I'd suggest "rpm -ve qt" it'll
remove a lot of stuff.
