what's
wrong with KDE4, Gnome 3 and any other DE that puts appeareance before
functionality!!

KDE4 is really quite sad. I was willing to accept the eye candy but even
then, it doesn't work right. If you put a panel at the top of a screen
it should be there after you go home at night and then come in the next
day. Nope. All panels stuffed into one screen. And I didn't even
logout, just locked the screen.
So. At Slávek's suggestion, I installed all the TDE packages from his
repo. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get the last few
packages to install. I keep getting stuck here:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
crystalcursors tdmtheme-trinity
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
ksmserver-trinity
Recommended packages:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
And of course '-f' gives me the same. Do I need to remove some of the
KDE4
packages? If so, which ones?
Slavek, when we removed the Plasma diverts from ksmserver-trinity I
thought we also removed the plasma-desktop file from the same package.
Did we miss something here or is the version of tdebase in your PPA not up
to date yet?
Thanks!
