I cheated. I installed Ubuntu first, checked out pulse, everything
worked, then installed KDE as a Desktop. Pulse still works and switches
between audio sources like a champ. Skype worked better than ever. Right
out of the box without me doing one darn thing to it. 

No luck to it. I love KDE as a desktop. No doubt about it. I love the
sinner, just hate the sin. If the OP gets desperate enough, I would
suggest install Ubuntu 10.4 from scratch, without adding back ~any~ old
home directory files or config files and see if that works. Ric
