You have KDE 3.4 available in an external repository. GNOME 2.10 is
being uploaded to experimental. As for xorg, ask the X11 maintainers.

Nobody forces you to use Debian. Just be glad that it exists, and that
all these distributions can base their work on it to offer you a shiny

If you see it necessary, then please be 100% sure they're thick _and_
uncaring before addressing them like this. This mail of yours hurt my

I'm not here to get bashed.
