Good to hear this.
In earlier message, and just in case you missed it, it is good to use
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
so that packages with unmet dependencies will not be installed and
making your system 'bonkers'(crazy). Using apt-get update and upgrade
may cause problems especially with beta's like karmic or ppa like kde 4.3.
Oh, btw kde 4.3 is out of beta now but not sure if jaunty still place
this in ppa or regular repositories.
