Wrong, again.  Disros that don't carry it don't necessarily compile
without -fPIC.  They may, or may not.  You can't just assume that they
don't.

Which has nothing to do, at all, with where your user files are
located... ~/.kde, ~/.kde4, ~/.kde3.5, etc.

But statements like that can cause confusion to other people.

I think this email is just proving my point.  If you don't remember
things, don't say them, and don't make statements based on assumptions.

Please, just let the developers give the technical advice.

Thanks,
