I had a quick look in kstandarddirs.cpp. I think we need to add "prefixes=/usr/local" to /etc/kderc. I haven't tested this yet, but I will try later. I don't know if we need to include /usr in there too. I doubt that we do. I don't think that we should support any more locations as standard. Maybe a note in README.Debian about $KDEDIRS. - -- David Pashley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9z8IxYsCKa6wDNXYRAg16AKCRJxX0KyKk08fIlfVZzXM4dkydfACgiFmF TjNp/OxDEXACuPLP/MkkrMw= =p92c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
