        I've used both somewhat extensively.  I dislike synaptic.  Kpackage is
much easier to use.  Indeed, it's probably my main reason for wanting
to use KDE versus Gnome, along with KDE's integration with KDM.  This
integration is also goofy under KDE4.

        I rarely use a file manager.

        I may have missed that.  I know it is in KDE3, but I don't seem to
recall it being in KDE4, that I saw.  I probably need to load another
(non-production) system with Squeeze and play around with it more.  I
could not afford the nearly continuous lock-ups on the Linux router I
was building, so I got rid of the GUIs entirely.

        I'm not really concerned about the file manager.
