[[ Packard also says that the freedesktop.org folks are working on improvements to the X architecture:
A related project that we're also working on is to take the monolithic X build architecture and splitting it into pieces. Libraries, fonts, servers and applications will be released separately. Periodically, released versions of the individual packages will be collected together and bundled as a unified release. The goal is to promote rapid development of some portions of the system (like video drivers) without requiring a rapid release schedule for the entire project.

--I *REALLY* hope they don't screw this up. KDE does things this way, and updating KDE is a frelling NIGHTMARE. Even with Debian. Rather than go thru the hassle, I just leave KDE at whatever version it was when I installed (from knoppix.)

Your problem is caused by the Knoppix packages. That has nothing to dowith Debian or KDE. Upgrading the official KDE Debian packages is painless.
Knoppix does not claim to be upgradable to Debian.
