+kdm requires some config files provided by kde4-config-file, that's mean 
+either Default-kde4-config, vanilla-kde4-config or netbook-kde4-config.
+  urpmq --requires kdm
+    kdebase4-runtime
+    kde4-config-file[>= 2]
+    [...]
+  urpmq --whatprovides kde4-config-file
+    vanilla-kde4-config|Default-kde4-config|netbook-kde4-config
+
+so, you can use vanilla-kde4-config instead of Default-kde4-config, and 
+you will remove the requires on plasma-applet-icontasks and all its 
+dependencies.
+
+As previously said by John and Thierry, logs could help a lot to narrow 
+an eventually wrong requires.
+
+btw, on a server, perhaps you could replace kdm by a lighter login manager.
