This has already been handled. We set the default configuration |
| 19 |
directory for KDE 4 apps to ~/.kde4 for -kdeprefix, and .kde4.2 etc for |
| 20 |
slotted. This removes the possibility of KDE 4 apps corrupting KDE 3 |
| 21 |
apps unless you symlink this directory. |

I wonder how many apps can actually support KDE 3 or KDE 4. I would |
| 24 |
favour using kde3 for KDE 3 support, and kde for KDE 4 support, if |
| 25 |
people feel that this is necessary at all. If you are only talking one |
| 26 |
of two apps users have package.use for this kind of thing. |
