I have it working, but it wasn't easy. On my first try I made my partition too small. I thought 950 MB would be enough, but my "120 MB" root actually used about 220MB on my memory card. You need at least 1.1 GB. I have a 1.5 GB partition now.

After actually installing everything, I was able to load a desktop but the panel kept crashing. My windows also had hildon themed title bars. I was the menu icon here.
I think I tried "/etc/init.d/af-services stop" from xterm and the device promptly rebooted.
Then I tried it again from ssh and rebooted again. I ran "stopmaemo" as root with ssh and kde came up properly. I ran it again as user from ssh and that also worked. The menu icon works now, but I don't know what I did to fix it.

Also, I have gotten though kpersonalizer by using the d-pad. On the first couple of screens make your selection then press the center button. On the last screen, I believe this is the window decoration screen, you need to go one click to the left before pressing enter.
