UBUNTU: KDE 3.5x bye bye

[Ahmed Osman]

I really wish I could get KDE3 back. The Adept manager in KDE4 makes me want
to push a llama into a lake.
There's an excess of usability issues introduced with KDE4. I've been
spamming launchpad with bug reports and what-not regarding this, so we'll
see what happens.
