Joerg,
Oh yes, I am VERY familiar with OpenStreetMap with GPSdrive and Kismet. Like I 
said, I was running it all on Gentoo and did a fair amount of mapping prior 
to losing the HD on that laptop. I suppose I should have backed it up 
occasionally ;-)

Mark, I'd be happy to work with you. I should clarify that I am running 
Kubuntu 8.04.1 instead of 8.10 for 2 reasons:

a. I prefer KDE over Gnome as my desktop
b. I'm not ready to move to KDE4 just yet. IMO, it still needs more work

With that said, since both Ubuntu and Kubuntu use the same underlying base, we 
should be able to figure out what's going on with your install. I can always 
create a few VM's for testing installs on both versions.
