Thanks for the feedback, it is quite valuable to us!  I am very surprised
KDE4 has not been fixed at this late date; TDE still has a place then
beyond my niche requirements.

My best advice is to use the R14 nightly builds.  They are quite
functional, and the only reason that R14 has not yet been released is that
we are cleaning up odd little regressions and bugs here and there.

Simply follow the instructions here, substituting "trusty" for "oneiric":
