Ximian sees KDE as a competitor.  Note that if you install Ximian's Gnome, 
it will automatically remove KDE and you can't override that.  You can 
reinstall it later, but that's very Microsoft-esque, IMO.  (Forgot to 
mention that, MadHat.)

They carry KDE on the RedCarpet servers in the RedHat channel, but stuff 
in the Ximian channel keeps trying to remove them.  It's really stupid.

I suppose you could do a non-RedCarpet installation of Evolution and run 
it under KDE, if you also have Gnome installed.  But ... what would the 
point be?
