What GUI program do you suggest that KDE users use, then? Seriously,
I'd consider a gnome app if it were worth loading all the libs. I do
that for F-Spot anyway.

Here's the address to the k3b list:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/k3b-user
Refer everybody to there, no?

And I wouldn't attempt it. I can replace the main bearings in my motor
in a few hours with no problems. Would you attempt that? Just because
I use a computer does not mean that I am professed in it's
non-graphical operation. I am willing to learn, but only up to a
certain point.

The question was not asked at me, but I'll answer. I looked at the
output of k3b's error. Furthermore, non-descriptive error messages and
commands are counter-productive. It actually makes me mad, not laugh.

No, Dotan can work around the fuckups. To be more accurate, Dotan can
ask on the Kubuntu list and Chris can come and save his day! On
another day Dotan might save Chris's day. That's what's great about
these friendly communities.
