I think that it is indeed worth a try; though some proper testing is needed! 
Luckily it looks like there is a good interest in testing a recent svn 
snapshot :)

I have uploaded a new svn snapshot to the kubuntu-experimental PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-experimental/+archive/ppa
Note: This PPA indeed contains very experimental stuff at times; so you might 
want to hand-download the .deb and install it.

Please test version 0.0+svn959985-0ubuntu1~ppa2 and give us some feedback. We 
of course want to know if it solves anything for you; and more importantly we 
want to know if you find any regressions compared to the current version in 
jaunty.

Please send a report back to this list. You're of course also welcome to ping 
me on IRC (a|wen on #kubuntu-devel) with comments.

Cheers,
Andreas
