I have a few more comments: Without me telling Sarge to install KDE it installed it - well... good for me because I wanted that anyways. But... the fonts in the menue are missing! Nothing there.... it just pops up when highlighting it - but without -> everything looks empty - but it's definately there(I also had this problem once with woody after I tried to upgrade it to the newest KDE).
