I run KDE, and am quite happy with KDE4 (at version 4.4 now). Yet, opinions differ, so your wife has to find out if KDE4 suits her or not. Of course, staying with Lenny for KDE3 is only a short term solution. In the long run, you'll either have to accept KDE4 or use the fork of KDE 3.5 at http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/. Sjoerd
