It's best to install the full KDE 4 desktop to avoid any such headaches |
| 15 |
and other misbehavior. You should be able to select KDE3 or KDE4 at the |
| 16 |
KDM login screen. You should not be able to fully configure KDE 4 from |
| 17 |
within KDE 3 and vice versa. |

Switching fully to KDE 4 is pretty much the only sane solution; using |
| 20 |
KDE 3 apps from within KDE 4 is going to be better than the opposite, |
| 21 |
simply because the KDE 3 apps you need ought to be much fewer compared |
| 22 |
to KDE 4 apps. |

If you find that KDE 4 doesn't really suit you, it might be best to |
| 25 |
switch to another desktop environment. :P |
