Sorry I haven’t posted lately, been busy with school and such. Nevertheless, the world has been developing without me, and Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala has been released today. I began using the early alphas back in late Spring/early Summer, and have personally witnessed 9.04 (Jaunty) change from an operating system with various issues *cough*pulseaudio*cough*, to a very polished and clean one. After discussing things over with my buddy in the Netherlands, Robin Vermeij, I have considered switching over to KDE.

While GTK theming has mostly been solved on Kubuntu, there are still a few issues.
Problem #1: Using kdesudo/gksudo/sudo themes still look ugly
Solution:
1 2 | sudo apt-get install gtk-chtheme kdesudo gtk-chtheme |
and select qtcurve
Problem #2: Qtcurve’s font is much too big
Solution: Change the general font in systemsettings->appearance->fonts to something different, save, and then change it back. Repeat for `kdesudo systemsettings`.
