These programs require underlying libraries to run properly. Those
libraries are stored in separate packages which must also be
installed. The link between those two is "known" by the RPM
database. That linkage, a dependency, must be solved by yum to install
the programs you want and have them actually work.

So the best way to do this is:

$ su -c 'yum install kdebase k3b'

Anything that comes down the pipe, at that point, is required in fact
to let you run konqueror and k3b.
