May be we need first a list for kde3.5 fans. To me ubuntu is really noop. I
would clone a local kde3 repo and compile the deb packages for debian to
use in i.e. /opt/custom/kde3. I have done this for sarge before lenny
became stable for many apps, but at the time I was missing the newer
features in kde3.

Don't understand me wrong. I am for improvement and progress but not the way
kde4 is pushing it to the end user.

Thanks for the links and for the postings
