eeepc kde4 UXA finally working fast

1. Install jaunty and change to UXA as shown in http://biocrystallography.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-jaunty-xorg-intel-driver-to.html

2. Add the repositories from eeebuntu, array and statux
deb http://repos.eeebuntu.org eb3 main non-free contrib
deb http://www.array.org/ubuntu jaunty main
deb http://www.statux.org/ubuntu jaunty main

apt-get install linux-kernel-eb netbook-dkms eeepc-acpi-utilities eeepc-tray

This is supposed to install the latest netbook kernel.
linux-headers-2.6.29-1-netbook
linux-image-2.6.29-1-netbook

3. For some ridiculous reason it fails. You have to run:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtk2.0-cil libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil

4. Restart

5. Install latest KDE from ppa

6. Desktop effects like these:
