If you want the updated kde v4.1 you'll need to add
the following to your "software sources" or to
/etc/apt/sources.list:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu

But be warned, I'm the guy having trouble with my
desktop and show desktop widget or plasmoid as it's
called.  If you don't mind a buggy new release and
like the eye candy then go ahead, the graphics are
great. Have Fun,
