...plus the fact it's unsupported by Ubuntu which among other things means you can't use many KDE apps as root unless you enable the root account.

I'm on a single user system that my wife and I share. I seldom need root access and those programs that I do use that require root access can usually be either started from a terminal using sudo or the menu can be modified to use gksudo, at least in a few cases.

In our situation it works out great. But I'm glad you pointed out the possible shortcomings to the original poster.
