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.
