Well, now I feel like a complete and total dweeb.  I've always had kcron -
it was always installed as a dependency of kubuntu-desktop on previous
systems (going way back to Corel Linux).  I still have kcron on the hardy
VM I'm running, but there was no kcron installed in the Intrepid host. 
Oops.  I'm afraid you're all alone there, now, Ric :-)
