I should have confessed that I always upgrade on this SCSI machine,
as Fedora doesn't seem to like my Adaptec chip.
So it wasn't a clean install, as I may have suggested.

My recollection is that at some point in my youth
I was asked during installation to choose between KDE and Gnome,
and I chose KDE, so KDE has been installed ever since.

I've just checked on a more standard machine of mine,
and I don't in fact have all this foreign stuff:
=======================================
[tim at helen ~]$ grep i18n /var/log/rpmpkgs
kde-i18n-British-3.3.1-1.noarch.rpm
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-10.i386.rpm
=======================================
So I had better withdraw my remark.

Actually, it wasn't really a complaint,
as I like the idea that I could get everything in Norwegian if I wanted ...
