KDE 4 has had issues across the board. My department really went through hell when KDE 4 came out and many of the profs at my school decide to TRY and install KDE 4 themselves. Even Linus Torvald moved to Gnome until KDE 4 gets more stable. I have not had issues with 32bit Jaunty 9.04 w/ Gnome. I have yet to test 64bit but I assume it is more stable with Gnome.
