[Ubuntu] Hello (plus kubuntu Jaunty issues with Qgis)

[Ricardo Filipe Soares Garcia da]

Hi Alan
Thanks for the in depth explanation.
Since I already have Qgis working again, I'll wait for (k)ubuntu 9.10
(which should be coming with kde4.3 I presume) to get things back to
normal with regard to using the ubuntugis ppa for Qgis.
