[kde-linux] 3.5RC1

[David Baron]

Spoke too soon, I am afraid. After reboot, kdmgreat crashed out which 
means ... no logon.

The crash was in the copy in my home directory, even though I had copied it 
all to /usr/local and set the environment variables and ldconfig 
accordingly!!

So I reset the environment and ldconfig to the 3.4.3 and this came up fine. 
However, the /usr/bin kmail would not accept the Mail directory any longer. I 
was able to explicitely run the 1.9 (apparently it references the 3.5rc1 
components anyway) so I can read my mail. It did complain about no mime types 
installed, however.

So ..
1. I need to be able to complete the compilation. I guess I should start this 
out on /usr/local instead of my home directory in the future (since the home 
partition is getting full with all the kde thingies).

2. What I DO have should work, however. Why would kdmgreet crash out and why 
was it not running its .so from the directory I ldconfig'd?
