Related info for anyone with suVELLse Opensuse 11.1


This has 2 versions of kde with v4 as the default unless you purpose-fully 
go back to v3.


This means that the startkde, which is normally /usr/bin/startkde by 
default has been replaced IN V3 ( to allow both vertions to co-exist ) by 
/opt/kde3/bin/startkde  with /opt/kde3/bin/ $PATHed. YUMMEE!!


Fixing this in the distro's version of FREENX  is normal distro stuff, at 
which suVELLse are exemplary, but there is an obvious gotcha for anyone 
using a FREENX from elsewhereon 11.1


Should you have any such issues and are stuck in "wonder mode", a quick 
fix is to link them eg ( as su root)

ln -s /opt/kde3/bin/startkde /usr/bin/startkde

if the $PATH doesn't work for your FREENX connection user, user nx or 
whatever.
