The only "clash" I experience is that a kbuildsyoca (without the 4) in kde4 |
| 19 |
environment causes kde3 quicklauncher to lose all contents except for the |
| 20 |
Kontact symbol, kcontrol becomes empty and nothing from the k-menu works. If I |
| 21 |
do the kbuildsycoca back in kde3, then log out and in again, everything is back |
| 22 |
to normal, only the Quicklauncher remains empty. I got used to it thanks to |
| 23 |
Katapult. :-) |

Alan spoke about the configs and app data in ~. kdelibs naturally installs into |
| 34 |
the system, not home. And if you don't enable the prefix useflag in the older |
| 35 |
version (I believe they removed it a while ago anyway), then it installs HFS |
| 36 |
compliantly into /usr instead of /usr/kde/$version. |

PS.: I too use the kde3 overlay, as I am hesitant to switch as well. The bloody |
| 39 |
NVidia graphics driver causes regular flickering and sometimes it all hangs. I |
| 40 |
have orphaned entries in the task panel on a regular basis. KDM4 doesn't like |
| 41 |
my preferred font size. And until the Akregator devs have dealt with |
| 42 |
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190616 I can't use Kontact 4 either. |
