I still have both operating. My KDE3.5 was locally compiled but I still have to do some footwork in /etc/profiles and the startkde scripts to set paths appropriately. But both work no sweat.
So the backports are an option and since Ubuntu stores its KDE libraries differently than "pure" Debian, it should be easier than my way. However, while I agree KDE4 has taken a newer direction and is slower, one can configure it to work more like the old favorite. Your desktop and be the desktop folder "containment" and then work from there. Or try one of the lighter-weight alternatives. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
