Ximian is supported on Woody yet so you're no doubt coming up with the 
various conflicts that arise from upgrading whilst keeping the Potato 
optimized version of Ximian. I just upgraded to Woody to days ago myself 
being quite aware that Ximian wouldn't work quite right. Mostly it worked, 
but there were applications that wouldn't launch, etc.

Sorry, but no. When I saw that the full KDE package was supported in the UWA 
ftp tree, I thought to myself,"I wonder where KDE is up to?" Without wanting 
to offend any of the GNOME faithful, I have to say that KDE 2.2.x is 
AMAZING!!! Easy install, exceptionally flexible, simple and intelligent 
configuration options, excellent documentation. Without a doubt in my mind, 
the best desktop GUI available is free and its called KDE.

Sol
