for what it's worth, I use a mix of Ubuntu and Kubuntu gutsy; my desktop
is running Ubuntu, but the first thing I do is kill metacity and start up
kwin and kicker.

I'm a bit wary of hardy, since I hear it uses KDE4, which has apparently
abandoned the kicker?  (I'm not sure about this -- I tried a beta a few
months back, but it was too buggy to use for "real world" stuff, so I
never got that far in my testing.)
