apt/yum kde rpm repositories for Fedora: help needed

I'm trying to get the packages of KDE not available with the standard fedora (core 1) release from some of the apt/yum rpm repositories out there, so that updating etc will be easy in the future.

I searched around for a while and found many people referring to this yum.conf file:

http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/samples/yum.conf

I uncommented a few of the "alternate repositories" and then added the following repos, too:

[code:1]

[kde-redhat-fedora-stable-$releasever]
name=kde-redhat.org (fedora-stable)-1
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/fedora/$releasever/stable
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/fedora/$releasever/stable
#gpgcheck=1

[kde-redhat-fedora-stable-all]
name=kde-redhat.org (fedora-stable)-all
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/fedora/all/stable
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/fedora/all/stable
#gpgcheck=1

[kde-redhat-kde-stable-$releasever]
name=kde-redhat.org (kde-stable)
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/$releasever/stable
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/kde-redhat/$releasever/stable
#gpgcheck=1

[kde-redhat-kde-stable-all]
name=kde-redhat.org (kde-testing)
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/all/testing
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/kde-redhat/all/testing
#gpgcheck=1
[/code:1]


When I try running yum update, I get the following message:

[code:1]
Resolving dependencies
......Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package gtk2 needs themer >= 0:1.50, this is not available.
Package redhat-artwork needs themer >= 0:1.50, this is not available.

Package gtk+ needs themer >= 0:1.50, this is not available.
Package kdebase needs themer >= 0:1.50, this is not available.
[/code:1]

Could someone tell me what I can do about this?

Thanks!

PS: I've decided to install Gentoo on a new partition, meanwhile. Staying up to date with rpms, especially for KDE is proving to be painful (in spite of all the ravings about apt/yum ... at least in my experience), and Gentoo appears to be refreshingly different from the other distros out there.

Uhm. Bummer?
