Please don't laugh...

Hi,

Ok, you can maybe have a bit of a chuckle. I have just done an upgrade and, 
because I wasn't paying attention, I installed a load of KDE 3.5 packages 
which has left we with a less than perfect KDE experience. I have managed to 
get most things working again but due to dependency issues I can get the menu 
bar to work.

The way I see it I have three options

1)Attempt a complete downgrade of all the KDE stuff. I would rather not do 
this.
2)Add alioth to my sources list and cross my fingers that the packages in 
there will fulfil the dependencies (they mainly have version numbers along 
the lines of 3.5.0-01 where are packages in the official repositories are 
3.5.0-03).
3)Wait it out and hope that the other 3.5 packages enter unstable soon. I 
really don't want to do this as I need to get on and work.

Do I have any other options? What would you recommend? (Be more careful when 
upgrading would be my recommendation to myself).

Thanks,

Graham
