5 As a user who tried KDE 4.2.1 & decided to wait for >= 4.3.1 (smile),
6 having KDE 3 + KDE 4 installed simultaneously is not easy.
7 There seems to be a basic problem with KDE 4 apps
8 corrupting KDE 3 settings in the user's ~/.kde3.5 & ~/.kde4 dirs.
9 The problem seems to arise from the single symlink ~/.kde ,
10 which has to be pointed to one or the other version of KDE.

12 Have you guys thought re this aspect of the affair ?
