If the package installed succesfully, it means all its dependencies
were installed, which only includes packages necessary to run
this program (mostly libraries) and probably not what you expected.
I recommend that you install one of these packages:
kde-plasma-desktop - the KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal set of applications
kde-plasma-netbook - the KDE Plasma Netbook and minimal set of applications
kde-standard - the KDE Plasma Desktop and standard set of applications
kde-full - the complete KDE Software Compilation for end users
