Ok, it's been a bit sense I posted that question and I have become a bit more comfortable with the kde. Wish this machine had some more guts under the hood, only a p4 but with 2 gig of mem.

kde 3.5, I have the ability to configure more then one desktop and can actually ctrl/tab my way through them. It's kind of cool, but I don't really use it. yet.

With regard to my original question, I have done everything through the command line with regard to the ports/packages.

Thank you for the followup. I'm still punting my way through this setup... But, I like it for the most part.
