KDE Backports?

[jdong]

I'm considering kde 3.3.2 backports from Hoary Universe. Any thoughts? Any serious KDE users here?

As far as I am concerned, there is no such thing as a serious KDE user. :D

I installed k3b and absolutely hate looking at it. I can't stand the "Crystal Blue" icon theme.

Now if you can port over the functionality without that grotesque theme / skin, then yeah, go for it.

But as far as I am concerned, keep KDE out of Ubuntu. If I wanted KDE I'd run SUSE or Slack or Debian or Mandrake or Gentoo or...

I was going to try k3b, but if it really looks that KDE-ish, im really having 2nd doubts.

Hmm, well, Hoary's preview will be out around March, at which time Warty's backport branches will freeze.

I don't think it's worth the effort; I'm waiting 2 months for my brand-new KDE desktop!

You are aware that KDE, including icons, is themeable, right? :D

Imagine someone dismissing GNOME out of hand because they hated Glider, or installed and promptly wiped out Ubuntu because they didn't like the Human theme. That's how I felt when I read your comment. 8-)
