Wasn't intending to. We like Kate for a code 
editor, but have used Bluefish in the past, though 
we do prefer Kate.

We've also used gFTP instead of Konq, but it 
crashes a lot on our Debian boxes now, and I do 
prefer Konq.

So would I be better off then, just loading 
Kubuntu and forgoing Xubuntu? I don't like the 
cluttered look of KDE and prefer a cleaner looking 
desktop.
