Sorry not an answer to your question, only a comment to agree with you that 
Breezy doesn't seem 'stable'

I have had different issues with Breezy that have remained un-answered on a 
couple of forums, but my laptop running Hoary was virtually trouble free, 
performance was far better and certain software is not installable for me on 
Breezy.

See my post at;
http://kubuntuforums.net/index.php?topic=1540.0

My person opinion is that because of the 6 months release cycle, things were 
pushed through a little fast. If a six month release cycle is the way to go, 
I would sooner see fewer, changes which have had more time spent on them...

I am however a big Kubuntu advocate, just that I am still running 5.04 for the 
reasons stated above.

Just my rantings
Steve
