Well I took my chances. I tried installing Brahms from Ivan's KDE2.0 list,
but this all but killed my KDE, as it loaded the new qt2.3 libs. This is a
known issue that has received lots of discussion on the list. Now that my
desktop was gone, I did an apt-get dist-upgrade with Ivan's source.list
included. Thsi installed loads of stuff, and now I've got a brand new KDE2.1
desktop back!!!
I've only just started using it, so I have no feedback at the moment, but
I'll keep you posted. I do know that this fixes the problem with konqueror in
Progeny not opening http. Other than that I'll just have to see how
everything works out.

I would recommend using Ivan's sources for the KDE updates, as I think they
are very well packaged and Ivan has done an excellent job bringing everything
together with the latest libs and tools.
