You do, of course have a good point and I thank you for your feedback. There is already an (under-publicised) kde faq, at http://www.davidpashley.com/debian-kde though I'm not certain from memory that it has this type of information. It is obvious now that it should, and I will work with the maintainer and the debian-kde folk to get that information into the faq. I will probably also see about getting the faq a bit more publicity than the occasional mention here and the references to it on #debian-kde/#debian.
