I have a test PC I can try it on again.  I tried it before in late
October, but I couldn't get  a viewable screen resolution, so I blew
it out and installed Debian Lenny.  My plan was to use Lenny for KDE 3
and upgrade my Kubuntu production machine once KDE 4 was production
ready.  I thought I would be able to tell from booting KDE 4 in Hardy,
but now this option is available.
