To Kubuntu, or not to Kubuntu? That is the question!

[Jordi Ferrando Fabra]

I can't scan documents with my HP scanjet 7400c with ADF. At least not 
without hanging up "kooka" every 5 seconds and causing the scanner belts 
to make noises and internal damages ... I use it from VMware and 
Windows2000. Wine does not support the scanner software, so I "live" 
with Windows some times. I don't like rebooting every time.

I also feel wine very annoying when handling "window focus" in KDE. I 
run codeweavers 6.1 pro wine, but I do not have the same experience as 
with native Windows. If I open a child window from a form, them open 
another window, then close the second window, the focus does not go back 
to the previous window. This is very annoying. I suppose this is because 
wine uses plain X libraries, It could be much better if it used kde 
libraries, but it does not.
