Ah, so you know all the reasons why KPackageKit was developed, you know what 
exactly PackageKit is and you know the decisions why PK/KPK was included into 
all distributions? I don't think so, otherwise you won't think the decision was 
"misguided" or "ego-driven".

> It's a bug-ridden half-arsed attempt to replace Synaptic
It's not designed to replace Synaptic. KPK provides access to basic 
package-management features most users need and will ever need. If you need 
Synaptic, install it or try Muon.

How do you mean? KPK provides information about the download speed and the 
package sizes.

I suggest you should give KPK on Maverick a try, so we can close this
bug report or work on a patch.
