run
sudo apt-get autoclean
at a terminal to get rid of the .debs which you don't need anymore. IIRC
it leaves the ones that are currently installed.

Agreed. for the most part anyway, K3B is pretty nice, but I want a gnome
app.

Try finding the kcontrol .deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives by doing
ls /var/cache/apt/archives/kcontrol*
at a terminal. The * just tells it to look for anything after kcontrol.
So, install the newest version of kcontrol by doing
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kcontrol<stuff>.deb
inputting everything between "kcontrol" and ".deb" in the <stuff> part.
If you're running Hoary and you're keeping up to date it'll be
kcontrol_4%3a3.3.2-1ubuntu4_i386.deb (that's what mine is anyway).
Oh, and one more thing...
que es un walcom-volito? En ingles, por favor, mi espanol es muy malo.
