Hi Timothy,

Alan answered regarding the icons.  I have also noted that the tips are  
missing.  I believe it is because KDE Frameworks looks for the file  
with the tips in a different location than KDE4 did - so it is just an  
incomplete port.

It is possible to have two versions of KMM installed at the same time,  
but it is not easy.  There should be no overlap, because there are name  
conflicts.  Assuming one version is installed in /usr/... then when you  
compile the other, set it to install in /home/timothy/install or  
someplace like that.  Then to launch it, you need a script which sets  
several KDE environment variables and tells KDE to rebuild its cache  
using that location before actually launching KMyMoney.  I have  
attached the two shell scripts I use to launch my private copies of 4.8  
and 5.  If it's not obvious what you have to modify, ask again, and  
I'll post a more annotated version.
