Bruce...um...I think something rather odd happened to your install. Would you email me so I can discuss it? Briefly...the default download should give you the KDE 4 version of One, not the GNOME version, and our KDE 4 certainly does include the KDE 4 editions of Konsole, Kmail and Konqueror. I'm really not quite sure what happened with your set up, but if you drop me a line, we can probably figure it out. Thanks!
One quick side note - you complain about rpmdrake notifying you of dependencies when installing a large set of packages, "such as you have when installing a new desktop environment." In fact, on Mandriva, all significant DEs have a task- metapackage: you don't have to manually select a lot of different KDE 4 packages to install KDE 4, for instance, you just select the 'task-kde4' package and install that. It will automatically pull in all the dependencies you need. There is also task-gnome , task-kde3 , task-xfce , task-lxde and so on. This might be the cause of your KDE 4 weirdness, actually - did you try to manually install KDE 4 on top of the GNOME install? Perhaps you missed some packages.
