Do you think this qualifies as a bug/wish? I could go back and
uninstall the distro's version (actually, it might be simpler to
migrate to another distro), but I presumed that one of Konstruct's
stated purposes is to allow a second (or third, or fourth) KDE
installation along side a distro's without the added caveat of "kde
must not be installed in $STANDARD_UNIX_DIRECTORIES"

Just wondering,
Jeff
