A response that followed made the suggestion.  Said it worked better.  No, I 
have kde 4.2.2, and have for a long time.  On the other computer, I have 4.3 
Rc3, but I don't often spend much time in Karmic, because the computer is so 
slow.

I still have the following to contend with before I can install skanlite, and 
I don't know how to do it:

steven at Yeshua:~$ less sources.list
sources.list: No such file or directory
steven at Yeshua:~$ sudo apt-get install skanlite
[sudo] password for steven:
E: Malformed line 62 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
steven at Yeshua:~$

Thanks!
