xorg-utils is a xorg group member and you need xorg before you install KDE. I don't think we should add it to depends. Pierre?

Yeah, I thought It shouldn't until I noticed that startkde script use command which is in xorg-utils. That's the problem.
----------------------------------
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
export KDE_FULL_SESSION
xprop -root -f KDE_FULL_SESSION 8t -set KDE_FULL_SESSION true

KDE_SESSION_VERSION=4
export KDE_SESSION_VERSION
xprop -root -f KDE_SESSION_VERSION 32c -set KDE_SESSION_VERSION 4
----------------------------------
startkde set these use xprop to set some properties. It will cause some other program which read this property.

xorg is not listed as a dependency in most GUI apps because they can be run remotely(e.g ssh X forwarding). The case here is different so I think the bug report is valid.

This is a valid bug because you ver likely want to use startkde when you install kdebase-workspace. I added the dependency to svn; will be available with next update.
