I have upgraded all my systems to KDE 4.3.1 very successfully, and it is gorgeous. While still slower than LXDE (this will likely always be the case), it is much better than the 4.2 that shipped with Jaunty.

I have to post this – it is involved enough that I will forget it if I don’t. Googling for a solution was challenging.
In order to get the gkrellstock plugin installed for Gkrellm-2, on Kubuntu 8.04, these are the steps I took:
Download the plugin from http://gkrellstock.sourceforge.net/ – gkrellstock-0.5.1.tar.gz is the current posted version.
Install the Perl [...]
