@Clemens: Sorry to hear that. To be honest, I never experienced that kind
of annoying stuff in KDE, once I filed a bug but the problem solved with an
update, so I never had a bad experience with the K... When I updated to 4.5
trough unnofficial testing repositories I had some crashes in dolphin, but
some
days later, after an update everything worked flawlessly and until now,
things keep
that way.

Sometimes is not KDE fault, Sometimes some apps just crash because they have
bugs and they're not related with KDE (like Kmess a little time ago in 2.0.3
and 2.0.4 versions)
and in my experience, KDE has solved a lot of bugs trough releases, it's a
shame that yours
are not solved yet.

Have you tried with another desktop enviroment? Give Gnome-Shell a try, it's
quite good.
Also some computers just aren't ready for KDE, if you have something less
that 1GB of RAM
you might feel KDE a little Slow. Fortunately, there are a lot of Desktop
Enviroments for Linux

Have a Nice Day! :)
