Hear hear! It's not KDE's business to be telling systems where they must 
install KDE. It's up to the individual distribution and system to 
decide if they want KDE under /opt/kde, /usr/local/kde, or wherever. If 
some distro wants to go nuts and install it under /usr/man/kde, who are 
we to say no?

The configure scripts will need a default install location, and since 
the people most likely not to use "--prefix" are end users, 
then /usr/local is the FHS appropriate location.
