RedHat 9 distribution has changed a lot of the standard KDE packages so it's natural that you keep missing features.
My suggestion (the same I did) is to visit
http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ and use their packages. Their only goal is to beat the RH strategy and give KDE users a sane stable KDE in RH linux.
You should first install apt-get (they have a link to get it in the page, near sources.list) and then folow the instructions. There is a frontend fot apt-get called Synaptic that you may want to try for the task.
I hope this will fix you system.
