Hi Dan, There is an easier way to use both versions parallel. take a look at /opt/kde2/bin/startkde there are a few lines about KDEHOME. This sounds like it is possible to set the kde homedir via this variable. If we patch this script to use .kde22 for example we are out of trouble. Additionaly we can explicitly set KDEDIR in /usr/X11R6/bin/wm/kde22 to /opt/kde2.2 then both versions should coexist friendly, because KDE always adds itself to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before starting. bye achim~
