Hi folks,
First let met thank everyone for making and running Kubuntu and Kubutu Forum! They're awesome, and as a user I very much appreciate you guys.
So here is my question: are there any technical differences between "Kubuntu" and "Ubuntu + KDE SC"?
Here is the background.
I personally feel very comfortable using KDE; thus Kubutu is one of the best choice for me.
At the same time, I'd like to stick to the "mainstream." Among many, one reason is that I think that I encounter less problems or if I do I may be able to solve with less burdensome; so I chose Ubuntu + KDE SC (another reason is that I do want to use GNOME occasionally).
I am/was pretty satisfied with above choice. However, I have encounterd some problems when using KDE which does not appear when using GNOME. They are:
(both threads at ubuntuforums, thread=2130104 and 2134060 respectively; in this forum, I'm not allowed to post URLs yet)
I don't know yet whether or not I'm facing above problems because I'm using Ubuntu + KDE SC, but I started to questions myself:
I very much appreciate your thoughts, ideas, opinions, or etc.
Please note that my personal belief is "nothing is superior over another; everything has pros and cons; every advantage can be disadvantage and vice versa." So my intention is definitely NOT to get us into so-called "flaming"; rather let me learn about differences and characteristics of Kubuntu and Ubuntu + KDE SC."
Thanks in advance!

- Cannot open files via smb when using KDE
- KWalletManager not working properly

I don't know yet whether or not I'm facing above problems because I'm using Ubuntu + KDE SC, but I started to questions myself:
- Shold I have chosen simply Kubuntu rather than Ubuntu + KDE SC?
- Are there any technical differences between the two? For example, numbers of software supported or stability of KDE (if no differences, following questions are moot, I guess ).
- If there are, what are they?
- Could it be possible that I encounter more problems when using Ubutu + KDE SC than Kubuntu if I tend to use KDE more frequently?
- Should I choose Kubuntu if I use KDE frequently and use GNOME occasionally?
I very much appreciate your thoughts, ideas, opinions, or etc.
