The ONLY reason I keep KDE as my desktop is that I can move my mouse
pointer to the edge of the screen and move into the adjoining
desktop/screen, or whatever it's called, without having to use that cube
thingie. (another brain cell just passed away, let's have a moment of
silent meditation) But, I install Ubuntu first as kubuntu's schema
whacks Pulse audio into a non-working state. Gnone, to me, builds a
better installation. So, I install KDE later, as desktop I can chose to
use. Ric
