uninstalling with pacman

Hi all,
I would like to uninstall some programs that comes with KDE such as UML Modeller and Linkchecker. The problem is I don't know the name of the packages these programs use. I have tried

 pacman -Ss UML
extra/numlockx 1.1-4
    Turns on the numlock key in X11
extra/uml_utilities 20070815-2
    User Mode Linux Utilities
community/argouml 0.26.2-1
    A UML design tool with cognitive support
community/umleditor 3.1.2-1
    UML/INTERLIS-Editor

but this doesn't work for UML Modeller.

Any idea how can I list the packages a program uses?
thanks in advance

Re: uninstalling with pacman

You can "pacman -Qo <file>" where <file> is the path to the program you want to uninstall.  Probably in /usr/bin/...

Edit: the KDE packages are not very split up (upstream decision) so you may have issues removing some things.
