Since 4.x, kde by default is installed on your regular system prefix, instead of creating his own. So your kde binaries will usually live in /usr/bin, and each component will go to the right place just like for any other package. Should I just wait, or is there something I should be doing? I have no experience mixing branches of kde. As long as you have the 4.x version of kdebase-startkde you should have a way to start kde4, how to do it will depend no how do you start X. You seem to use kdm, I can't really help with that because I don't use a DM. If you use startx from command line it's just a matter of using the correct binary on your ~/.xinitrc, in this case /usr/bin/startkde if I am not mistaken. -- Jesús Guerrero
