I would add here that you should only install Kdeaddons *after* you install 
kdemultimedia. The addons are nice to have, but since they depend on things 
in kdemultimedia, you won't get everything unless that's installed first. 
Also, you can't get weather on the summary page in Kontact unless you install 
kdetoys. I think of weather as more than a toy, but that's the package it's 
in.
