I guess when you did encounter that you just remove task-kde from your system,
this one is pulling all kde deps, so when removed it's logical from urpmi to
consider kde deps as orphans.
Installer should install package like kdebase4-workspace, kdebase4-runtime etc
etc so you can't face the same issue by removing task-kde for example.
(Of course it's probably more easy & they might be a reason to use task- in
installer instead of specific package).
