Not to mention user-data.  No way am I going to lose that partly finished
10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle I have been "testing" with for weeks … :-)

But this is where "secret KDE business" comes in.  I can set $KDEHOME
automatically in each of my testing environments and that is where my
config and personal data will go.

Also, I am expecting good binary and source compatibility between the
(mature) KDE 4.12 and 4.13 libraries, so I am hoping the apps I will be
testing can link to either library.

Cheers, Ian W.
