I swear I checked and it was empty!  :)

Now they mysteriously appear.  :)

Nothing has been changed since May 23 when I did kde-3.4.2.

I really don't see a problem with /opt/kde/etc, but I agree that
/usr/etc/ doesn't make sense.  I will work on that when I do the
kde-3.4.3 update.

The purpose of the /opt/kde methodology is to keep *all* the kde system
files in one subtree.  Then, if a user creates multiple versions,
*everything* can be changed with a single symlink.  Right now I have
kde-3.4.{0,1,2,3} all in /opt and can easily compare versions with a
logout; ln -sfn <version>; startx.
