Thanks for the info on where the local items go. Do you know where the
system-wide items end up? I just added NoteEdit to my box, which is something

etc...
On a side-note, we just got word that the people buying our house just got
their mortgage approved. Once we get the cash, I'll be buying a Dual Opteron
to build a bleeding edge system on. I don't fancy building KDE-3.4 on this
