How to run kde3 on intrepid

[Tom Mckay]

The solution to this problem is to adopt gnome, which will never introduce
drastic changes as KDE has done. If a uniform and sane environment is what
you are requiring for your clients, gnome is your best bet. These are just
my opinions, please don't start arguing which environment is better. I was
merely stating the fact that the gnome developers have made it their mission
to introduce changes gradually.
