That seems like a perfectly reasonable course of action given the

I just can't understand why people think it's reasonable to just take

A lot of people seem to be using Konqueror because of this which is a
shame. I've already posted in the thread about how to switch back to
the old firefox picker.
Shame no one seems to know how to theme gtk to make it better.

Maybe use unionfs (or some other COW) to copy over the top of the

There is the package:

But this seems to apply to the old kernel-*** packages and not the new
linux-*** ones.
Does anyone know what I have to do to get a skas host kernel?
