I would tend to agree with this. I didn't have any of the problems mentioned
when installing KDE 2.1 rpms on a RedHat 7 box. All my GNOME menus were
intact and if I recall correctly I had to manually alter my .Xclients file
for the user accounts I wanted to use KDE. I also had to modify the
/etc/X11/prefdm script to make it use kdm as it still used gdm.
I have also installed KDE 2.1 from SuSE RPMs on SuSE 7 and although I noticed
a few minor differences in the way it was packaged (for instance the SuSE
version installed to /opt, RedHat installed to /usr), I again didn't
experience any problems with menus being trashed or other preferences being
changed in any evil ways.
BTW I love KDE2.1 and its customizability. It is looking very mature and
konqueror is rock solid. It's really worth checking out and it has a certain
style to it now which was lacking from KDE1. Also KOffice and KDevelop are
way cool. Although I use vi for all my coding I have checked out KDevelop and
the integrated debugging is really valuable and the class tree view is neat,
even for C programming as you can right click on a function name and do a
grep etc. You probably just have to play with it to know what I mean. :)
