Ditto. I prefer the /usr/local/kde3 solution, as most Linux distros do 
something similar with /usr/kde3 or /opt/kde3. Thus there's more support for 
it.

There will be a crapload of binaries with the same name. Renaming them all 
will be a major pain. But perhaps rename just startkde. Or put a kde[34].sh 
under /usr/local/et	c.

I will have almost no time to work on anything for a couple of weeks.
