Hi Dan, |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
There is an easier way to use both versions parallel. take a look at |
| 22 |
/opt/kde2/bin/startkde |
| 23 |
there are a few lines about KDEHOME. This sounds like it is possible to |
| 24 |
set the kde homedir via this |
| 25 |
variable. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If we patch this script to use .kde22 for example we are out of trouble. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Additionaly we can explicitly set KDEDIR in /usr/X11R6/bin/wm/kde22 to |
| 30 |
/opt/kde2.2 |
| 31 |
then both versions should coexist friendly, because KDE always adds |
| 32 |
itself to LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
| 33 |
before starting. |
| 34 |
