It was until recently that when Kubuntu 8.10 includes KDE 4 by default rather than KDE 3, I switched to GNOME.

KDE 4 at that time for me was an unfinished product where it's not ready for prime time. The desktop effects were slow, many features of KDE 3 programs were still not ported, bluetooth was not working, and most important of all I can't run it in dual screen.

This has changed recently when KDE team released KDE 4.2. There were so many bugfixes and improvements that I think it's time for me to go back to KDE.

I've published an article on how to install KDE 4.2 in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) at Techrecipes.
