it mostly has been known already. Also in most cases author did not understand the real reason of problems. > Maybe it'll help with the packaging . . . > You can't have KDE2 and KDE3 on one (Mandrake) system peacefully coexist even if only because of menu problem. In any case if you do want have them together and be able to run both KDE2 and KDE3 application you _must_ compile KDE3 with different KDEHOME by default. Else you can't run KDE2 applications under KDE3 (they start but fonts are screwed up). Most of the workarounds in quoted post are not needed. You just need to remove space from KDE3 session name and remove setting of /opt/kde3/bin in path by default (God knows why it has been put there at all, I understand it made life of developer simpler. But not users'). Then you can normally use startx (or any session manager) to start either of them. Desktop issue is true but again it must be handled by default. -andrej
