Hmm:
Welcome to GnuCash.org
If you've been looking for a way to manage your personal finances using
Free Software, you've found it! Designed to be easy to use, yet powerful
and flexible, GnuCash allows you to track bank accounts, stocks, income
and expenses. As quick and intuitive to use as a checkbook register, it
is based on professional accounting principles to ensure balanced books
and accurate reports.

Gnucash is included in the Fedora Core 1 distribution. Look on CD #2:
Fedora-core1-disk.2: gnucash-1.8.7-1.i386.rpm

Well, clicking on the "software dependencies" link on the gnucash.org home
page, it says that gnucash is built using gtk+ and gnome, not KDE/QT. That
doesn't mean you won't be able to use it with KDE/QT -- you'll need to
have the gnome and gtk+ libraries installed -- but it won't integrate
into the KDE desktop like a native KDE app might. Fedora's Bluecurve
theme seems to do a pretty reasonable job of merging qt and gnome, so you
might look into that if a consistent UI is important to you.
