No - or at least I have not found the way in which it runs.
The problem is this. The installation runs smoothly so that you will be thrown only when they first log into the cold water. Once KDE4 tries to start, the shaky video mode and starts the X server. The KDE window manager kdm gets into an endless boot-boot-crash-crash loop [1]. That's to be considered with the first few times of fun, but very quickly loses entertainment value and there remains nothing but frustration.
How good that Parallels has just released the new version 4, but this can be paid at 40 €. Now it is so that I swear by my Mac purchase I did not want to annoy more than software. So I made then 70 € for Parallels Desktop loose, although at this time virtualization for Windows and Linux was already free.
So I see there is not one to pay for the update. What remains as a solution is to install Ubuntu 8.10. With Gnome desktop as I can arrange just about, but the Gnome counterparts for file, text and music management, image processing, unfortunately does not have the same functionality as the on KDE. When then do not install the Parallels Tools were, had to be a radical solution.
So Parallels and out Virtualbox pure. And what can I say. It rocks.
Conclusion: Sometimes you have to pull the financial handbrake. In this case also spared the nerves.
