Kubuntu on Dell Inspiron 6400

[Orjan Sinclair]

I am installing Kubuntu on a laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 and basically 
following these instructions for Ubuntu (am not going to worry about 
Compiz etc just yet though);

As can be seen the installation refers to intalling i8kutils and gkrellm 
to control fan (something I thought was hardware based I must admit). 
Anyone knows of a KDE replacement for gkrellm? Anyone knows if this is 
really needed?
