This is going to sound strange, but I dont want kde, I use wmaker. The
machine had Fedora Core 3 on it and I felt like a change, So on went
Debian.

I have alot of mails that Kmail 2.2 wont open and other kde apps that I
had upgraded before that I want to acess.

also my partner uses the machine, and being a windows user, the fact
that 2.2.  *looks* different to her desktop she had under fedora, she
anit happy. Being 6 months pregant with twins I have learned not to
argue with her :)
