I guess KDE is missing the ability to handle easily multiple KDE versions at 
once. Right now, you can launch seamlessly a Gnome (or whatever )app from 
KDE, but you must redefine KDEDIR and KDEBASE if you want to run an app from 
another version of KDE. Even worst, KDE applies its color schemes to 
Gnome/Athena/Motif apps, but is unable to handle the look of other KDEs...
