The installation went well (with a re-install of qt4 due to a missing use flag) and it was on to restarting the system so I could start mucking with the new interface. And that's where I hit a snag. In the URL above, the directions say to change /etc/conf.d/xdm, the DISPLAYMANAGER variable to kdm-4.0. Every time I tried that, I got just xdm instead as a login screen and then, after log in, got my same KDE3.5 desktop. There are no other directions on this page, so now I don't know where to go from here.
