KBib is a bibliography manager for KDE. It uses BibTex as its native file format
* Add/edit/remove references
* Support copy/paste/drag-drop of references (BibTex entries can be copied/pasted or dragged/dropped from another Kbib window or a text editor into KBib and vice versus)
* Search and download references from Z39.50 servers, SRU servers, Pubmed server, IEEEXplore, ISI Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Citebase.org, ArXiv, Spires, Scitation, Optics InfoBase, Science Direct and MathSciNet.
* Download references from remote reference database (opened with Konqueror, Firefox), such as IEEEXplore, ScienceDirect (RIS format), Web of Science (ISI format), Google Scholar (RIS and Endnote formats) into KBib (see screenshot)
* Create new references from plain text, reference identifiers (DOI, ArXiv ID or Pubmed ID) and PDF files.
* Find/remove duplicated references
* Generate citation key automatically
* Check/correct duplicated citation keys
* Lock/unlock citation keys (to prevent unwanted change of citation keys)
* Sort references
* Search references(fairly simple)
* Cite selected references into Lyx/Kile (using Lyx pipe)
* Support string macros
* Import references from Bibtex/RIS/ISI/Endnote/COPAC/MODS XML/PubMed XML/Endnote exported Bibtex (without citation key) files
* Export to RIS/Endnote/MODS XML/HTML files
* Save selected references into a new file
* Support user defined reference types
* Add/Delete/Edit reference types
* Allow different view modes (view all/by reference type/selected references/unselected references)
* Group references by various properties. References can be grouped by reference type and any field (user defined). Group view can be disabled.
* Allow flexible displayed fields
* Generate bibliography from selected references

When I try to install the kbib-0.6.2-1.i386 rpm, I am told
error: Failed dependencies:
libpoppler-qt.so.1 is needed by kbib-0.6.2-1.i386
libyaz.so.2 is needed by kbib-0.6.2-1.i386
However,

I'm somewhat new to linux (im an end-user, not a developer), so I don't quite know what to try next.

First thanks for this great program !
I think I've found a bug: If you put a tab at the beginning of the comment-field, the contents is not saved.
Try this to reproduce the bug:
- Create a comment for a bibliography entry. Put a tabulator at the very beginning of the comment.
- Save the bibliography
- Close kbib
- Open kbib again. The comment field should be completely empty.

I built kbib on my Debian Etch server this morning and it works fine. I suspect it may be due to the versions of QT/KDE i.e. 3.3.4/3.4.2 on Slackware and 3.3.7-4/3.5.5 on Debian.
