I ran into this exact same problem. It appears to be related to the redhat-artwork package. What I had to do was remove redhat-artwork and all packages that depend on it. Then, go to www.rpmfind.net and download the redhat-artwork rpm for Fedora Core 2 Updates and install it. Then you should be able to reinstall KDE and all the other packages that were removed with redhat-artwork. After that is complete you should be able to do a normal apt-get for the bleeding qt packages.

I have run into this problem, and have no gdm. I am not concerned about KDE as I use ratpoison, but my login is from xdm now, which does not appear to have auto-login (and I have no keyboard plugged into the box).
I am curious, should I just remove redhat-artwork via apt-get remove, install from the rpm, and then reinstall gdm? I am using FC1, so do not know if that will conflict with the FC2 packages.
I had the exact same problem - removing redhat-artwork wanted to remove gdm which I needed for autologin. You are correct that xdm does not support autologin. I am also running FC1 and the FC2 package for redhat-artwork doesn't seem to be causing any problems for me so far. I performed exactly the steps that you are asking about - remove redhat-artwork via apt-get, install the redhat-artwork FC2 rpm individually and then use apt-get to reinstall gdm and any other needed packages that were removed. FYI, I believe my apt-get remove of redhat-artwork also removed xine, xine-libs and mplayer so check what it's removing so you know what you need to reinstall. Also, when apt-get removes the gdm package it will save your gdm.conf as /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.rpmsave. When you reinstall gdm make sure to copy gdm.conf.rpmsave to gdm.conf so your gdm config will remain intact.
I am trying to do the same, but when reinstalling the uninstalled kde packages, I get an error for kdemultimedia:
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: lstat failed - Input/output error
That even happens, when I do download and install kdemultimedia from rpmfind, instead of using apt.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Thomas
