I don't know Marko's use case, but there is a problem with the way KDE  
apps are compiled and installed, so you can really only have one  
version present at a time.  If you complile a new version, and run it  
from the build directory, you do use the newly compiled program, but  
all the other stuff (plugins, icons, ...) gets pulled from the system  
location, not from the newly compiled version.  To fully test a newly  
compiled version without actually installing it, you would have to use  
a chroot or a virtual machine.  I've tried various workarounds in the  
past (different path, changing environment variables before running,  
rerunning buildsycoca, ...) and I've never had it work reliably.  Now,  
all my testing is either on a completely separate machine or in a  
virtual.
