This bug is not in 6.06 LTS but in kubuntu.org packages which are there for 
early adopters and not part of 6.06 LTS release.

KDE 3.5.5 is available in special kubuntu.org repository and not from regular 
ubuntu.com repositories. This is why it is not part of 6.06.01 release, but 
just add-on packages (like any other repo that you might find on internet). 
The only difference is that they are released by Jonathan Riddell (Kubuntu 
developer who does most of the KDE work) and are therefore considered by 
people more "trustful" than some other sources.

I am all for fixing bugs, but some bug fixes are easier to port back others 
are harder (and risky). If you would like to better understand what kind of 
fixes you can anticipate for released Ubuntu version, read
