Stewart H. Sounds like you've ended up with limitations I found after loading a xfce version of ubuntu known as xbuntu. Myself, I removed all the xfce I could using synaptic manager but here's a short cut. Though I have not done what the guru at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome advises, last night I reviewed his guidance with regard to perfecting Kubuntu, which is run off of KDE, which you are asking about. Clicking on the above http, you may review the advice given. And, if you like what is said, I believe you'll solve the issues you have. I find cryptic expressions guru a little hard to read but he's thorough and has many followers who rave about his help on ubuntuforums.org. Fact of matter, there's a link from the http to ubuntuforums.org if you wish to verify before you follow his guidance about 10.04 lucid lynx updating relative to your black screen. Yes, I believe Kubuntu will handle UbuStudio. Good luck! Kenneth
