we certainly can change those boundary conditions for KDE software. and we can 
also help lead the way for others by doing so. we aren't 3rd party developers 
here, we are the desktop's core developers.

that's what KDE is all about: creating the desktop that didn't exist 
previously. if the KDE1 developers had thought "we can't change the boundary 
conditions" there would be no UNIX desktop as we know it today.

we're talking about settings and data, not binary installations. we've already 
covered cross over elsewhere in this thread and firefox keeps it's data and 
settings hidden away like a good UNIX program.
