Okay, I experimented with both KDE and Gnome, and decided I'd rather use Gnome. After making this decision, I wanted to remove KDE, because I like to keep my hard drive as lean as possible. I accomplished this, or so I thought, by running: # yum groupremove "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". It seemed to work. Removed a whole bunch 'o stuff.
Okay, but then I wanted to install k3B, the CD burning software, which I'm led to believe is designed for KDE, but runs in Gnome. I did a YUM install and got the following error:

It looks like from your last e-mail you have a redhat-menus and redhat-artwork from some source other than CentOS (kde-redhat, perhaps?)
If you remove those versions of redhat-menus and redhat-artwork, I think you'll find things back to default, and that will resolve this issue as well.

I haven't confirmed if my menus are back to default, but removing the versions of redhat-menus and redhat-artwork has resolved the YUM error that this thread was about. Thank you for alerting me to that.

This is tied to your going outside the CentOS repo base (and your loading of a newer version of KDE) ... or at least somehow in another post you showed at least redhat-menus and redhat-artwork that was newer than in CentOS.
CentOS will work great if you stay in the code base ... OR add only functionality that doesn't already exist.
You can get a list of everything that is not part of the CentOS code base (that was installed via RPM based tools) by adjusting your yum repos to only include those that came with CentOS (in /etc/yum.repos.d/) and then using this command:
yum list extras
That will tell you everything that is installed that is not in your currently configured yum repos.

I'm innocent, I swear!
At one point, all I wanted to do was install Amarok, the KDE MP3 player. But the download instrictions said I needed to install another repository, I couldn't just download a single RPM. So then I did a yum update, and it did a whole bunch of stuff, including update KDE to 3.4, and probably a whole mess of stuff I didn't want or need it to do. All I wanted was an MP3 player, and I got a whole new interface as well.
So, anyway, I ran yum list extras, and I got a bunch of results. But I can't tell if any of them would be particularly problematic.

What version of redhat-menus do you have installed?
rpm -q redhat-menus
It may be that you had upgraded it somewhere along the line...
