[gentoo-user] KDE-4.1.3 + KDE-3.5.9 = messed up KDEDIRS ?

[Dmitry S. Makovey]

Hi everybody,

I've just updated to 4.1.3 (slotted alongside with 3.5.9) and all of sudden 
konqueror and akregator (didn't test much more, but I'm sure something else 
was broke too) stopped launching hinting that there is a CSS version 
mistmatch blah-blah-blah. Path to CSS suggested that 4.1.3 was using CSS from 
3.5.9 which was bizzare since it was working before. 

so I checked my KDEDIRS environment variable and found out that kde-3.5 was 
listed there (no traces of kde-4.1) and to work around it I just applied 
little script that rewrites KDEDIRS to something more usefull (?) placing it 
under ~/.kde-4.1/env/kde4-kdedirs.sh:

#!/bin/sh
export KDEDIRS=/usr:/usr/local

and this fixed it. Now my question is: is it something about my setup or it's 
happening to others too? Is there a "more proper" way to fix it?
