Interesting, I didn't know about this one.  I installed KDE from
http://www.kde.org.  There are debian, tgz, and RedHat packages.
It is still in alpha.  Though, it looks quite nice.  There is
a full application suite integrated with the window manager.  Everything
is fairly unstable at this point.  But, I like where it is headed.
No Japanese support yet.  The hack value could be high and the project
looks fairly well organized.  Uses Qt and C++.  

Regards,
Craig
