there's the search results, click the sorceforge.net one
if you ever need software just go to sourceforge first, that is unless you want the best, then you may want to look around because there are MANY apps that arn't there.
Sounds like a problem, not wide spread. You **should** be able to run most (ALL) KDE apps in Gnome, and most (ALL) Gnome apps in KDE without a hitch. Check your distro's docs, maybe they have decided against it, in which case, I'd look at a new distro; or at the very least, make an active attempt to get that fixed

Cool
May be the kdelibs are not installed at all.
Redhat (and fedora) doesnt install KDE by default.
I've checked it throughly, I have no problem running k3b, but it complained about cdrecord/cdrdao not running as root and it asked be to run the k3bsetup. Clicking k3bsetup won't fire up the setup program .. and upon checking the log, found the following:
kbuildsycoca running...
QMutex::unlock: unlock from different thread than locker
was locked by 0, unlock attempt from 16384
Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy
Oh btw, this happened in FC1, kernel version 2.4.22 and 2.6.0 ..
