My preference has always been KDE but thats me. I think you will
benefit if you install and run the whole KDE desktop with digikam.

There is nothing broken with Kubuntu, the bugs you referring to is
only if you have upgraded to KDE 4.2.90 from the kubuntu-experimental
PPA. Kubuntu Jaunty (9.04) has digikam 0.10.0 in the backports if I
remember right and it works without problem.
