Markus, First off, there is no tax or fee on spaces or newlines.
Your email would be a lot more readable if you inserted some breaks.

I especially contact you because Kubuntu is a Debian flavour so that an answer (or hint) to the problem('s resolution) presented in [3] could perhaps require knowledge that would exceed that of a "helping hand's" abilities.Best regards,Markus Hofstetter You could try contacting the rkward team and see if - someone has backported the current version to your Ubuntu release - can lend you hand otherwise In open source land, the usual recommendation is to start from the source so maybe just maybe you have to consider building it locally. I also had some luck with having Ubuntu/Canonical build packages for me via http://launchpad.net but it helps if you already know the basic of packaging...
