kimono?

[kwhiskerz at gmail.com (Petrus de Calguarium)]

I install the whole kit and kaboodle (minus kdeedu), except I have never installed 
kimono, because I prefer not to have mono unless I must.

Question:

KDE sans kimono : What am I missing? What won't work? What would I have, were I to 
install kimono and the dreaded mono?
