Hello, Dom :)
I just got done emailing Kde-devel, the RPM list and I also sent a
followup to the QT list.  I did learn something new: if I run "rpm -Uvh"
with the "--nodeps" flag, the Krename 2.9.4 RPM (and I would imagine,
the 2.9.3 RPM as well) installs, and then runs, just fine.  But like I
just got done saying on three different mailing lists, doing that on a
regular basis kind of defeats the purpose of a package management system
:)

Anyway, have a Great Day :)
