On that subject, I'd like to raise once more the issue of KDE placing. Now is |
| 7 |
the last time we can easily change it, before doing kde3 ebuilds. I still |
| 8 |
think there should be support for multiple KDEs, which would live in e.g. |
| 9 |
/usr/kde-$ver each. Juggling paths would be a lot easier. |

The way things work right now - one big kde in /usr - there are the following |
| 12 |
problems: |
| 13 |
- Many users are bound to put other KDEs in other lpaces, with or without |
| 14 |
ebuilds. It'd be better for us to do it for them. |
| 15 |
- Some apps don't like living separately from their kdelibs (noatun, kdm, |
| 16 |
mosfet's widgets...) |
| 17 |
- A KDE dev called us "redhattish" :-( |

I don't know how FHS-compatible that is (i.e. /usr/kde-$ver), beyond not |
| 20 |
putting kde in /opt. But I'd really like it to be that way - it would |
| 21 |
certainly make life easier. |
