Except when it wants to upgrade X or KDE, I almost always run aptitude
from an xterm. When it wants to upgrade X or KDE, I drop out of X
run the upgrade from there and restart X. KDE can get in a mess if it's core
libraries get updated while it's running.
So far I've have little or no problem from Woody, Sarge, Etch and Lenny.
