I don't understand this point. Could you please elaborate? Why is /usr/bin/kde 
better than either /usr/kde or /usr/packages/kde? Do you mean that kde should 
be split between /usr/{bin,lib,share,include,...}/kde/<version> dirs?

Specifying such separate dirs rather than a unified KDEDIR/KDEDIRS looks, at 
first sight, to be a major PITA. Maybe they'll improve support for this in 
kde4, but I don't relish the thought of doing it with 3.x. Unless there's a 
way already to specify such separated dirs via env variables a la KDEDIRS 
that I'm not aware of?
