GnuCash is usually recommended over KMyMoney as well, I believe. I tried using GnuCash once, but I’ve never used a personal money thing (or balanced my checkbook for that matter), so I was a bit lost on what all the stuff is and consider it unnecessary (though I guess for people with more complicated finances than “I put this much in, took that much out, and now I have this much” it’d be useful).
The “deskbar” applet is a second frontend for Beagle, and that’s included by default (just right click the panel and “add to panel”).
