That's actually a good point. Theoretically its possible to share some |
| 12 |
parts of the system across several machines, which is of course complicated |
| 13 |
by a /foo/kde/x.y/share directory structure. So most probably your |
| 14 |
suggestion is the best till now (and also one of the alternatives which was |
| 15 |
discussed for KDE 4). A directory /usr/bin/kde/x.y feels weird on the |
| 16 |
first glance, but why not? |
