Welcome to the first KDialogue session! Our guest today is Jonathan Riddell, who has graciously agreed to answer the questions.
Many know Jonathan for being one of the starters of the Kubuntu project, where he is also a package manager, but his involvement in KDE is much more than working on a KDE-flavored distribution. He maintains the Planet KDE blog aggregator (which helps everyone follow the blogs of their favorite develoeprs), and is one of the editors for the Dot. Also, he's been involved in the "People Behind KDE" initiative.
Code-wise, Jonathan has written printer-applet and system-config-printer-kde, two utilities to keep track of print jobs and configure printers, respectively, and the first non-C++ applications to land in KDE SVN.
He's also a rock star, or better, he has been treated like one when he went to Kano, Nigeria for a conference (along with fellow gearhead Adriaan de Groot).
Lastly, he is known for being strangely obsessed with hot tubs...
Now it is your chance to ask questions to Jonathan. Have a look at the KDialogue rules and keep them coming!

How do you deal with being one of the public faces of a distribution that seems to get a lot of flac for the quality of their KDE implementation, often being accused of playing second fiddle to Ubuntu?
Also, as a Kubuntu user, thanks for all the work you put into both it and KDE.
Edited to only be one question.

What is the hardest work for you about KDE and (K)Ubuntu?
EDIT: Split in order to honor the rules.

Was there any major difficulties in switching from KDE 3x to 4x?

Are you playing around with the activities to have several configured activities from a standard install?
