Could it get any worse?? Yes, it could.

:-(  I have just decided that as I can't have Trinity on a fresh install for 
the moment, I should look at KDE 4.  After all, perhaps I shouldn't condemn 
something out of hand and permanently.  Fortunately it is in a VM and easily 
removeable.  I shall just get rid of the whole VM and start again.  It is 
GHASTLY.  Far worse than I remembered.  So, pending the reopening of the 
mirrors, I shall have a look at Lubuntu.

The fates really don't like me this week! :-(

And I'm not, I hope you realise, in any way shape or form, blaming our 
marvellous and hard working devs.
