Gentoo has a directory 'kde' located under /usr, to make it possible to have several different versions of KDE installed at the same time. when LSB tells the developers how to solve this differently, without breakage, I'm sure they'll move and port stuff. but I wouldn't hold my breath for the LSB to fix support for issues like this. -- Terje -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
