KDE, Ubuntu and my Toshiba P205-S6237
Ok now, that I have my Laptop running Ubuntu and Have been Using the Gnome Desktop for the last few months, I have been having problems with Beryl crashing alot atleast once a Day. So I decided to switch from GNOME to KDE window manager, The first thing I did was get all the KDE Packages installed which was a very easy apt-get deal. Open terminal and type the following….
Step 1 - Obtain Full KDE
Open Terminal, and copy/paste the following
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Now this is a large package, and will take afew minutes to get but it’s well worth it. After everything downloads, then reboot your Window Manager with CTRL-ALT-DEL, and select session KDE. This will open a KDE Splash screen and boot KDE in just afew mins. Now when mine first booted, my Beryl was already opened and setup Perfect. No changes were needed 
Customize KDE
Well after browsing KDE it appeared everything was pretty much just like I wanted really lol. I did change my Taskbar Panel to Remove the Desktop Switched and Taskbar applets, as I use the Avant-Window-Navigator OS-X Style Docker bar for my Taskbar. From what I’ve seen so far I Havent had to make to many changes to KDE except edit my fonts to switch back to what I Liked in Gnome, you can Open the K Menu, Goto around the Bottom and click on System Settings thing change your Fonts to match up to your Gnome Fonts, I Personally use Lucida MAC Fonts to match my OS-X Style Desktop. I’m planning on using KDE for atleast a month before I decide to switch back to GNOME or what to do. Currently I just added 3 screenshots of my current KDE Desktop to my Flickr and afew more pictures of my 1 year old son also. You can view them at the bottom of the screen.. Which BTW I Found one execellent application that worked in both GNOME and KDE that I use to maintain my FlickR account which is called KFlickR you can get it with a simple
sudo apt-get install kflickr
As the month goes on I will finish this page with the config modifications I had to do to make this work properly but it’s still to early to list to much.
