Hi, FWIW and only IMHO: I like that the layout used for KDE is the same as the rest of Debian.
Nevertheless I agree that there is a 'big' problem with KDE in Debian KDE is configured to put config files to /etc/kde2 but KDE nevertheless uses /usr/share/config during runtime. There is something wrong in kdecore/kstddirs* or so. Fix this and then put into /etc/kde2/system.kdeglobals the dirs configure --prefix=/usr/local uses. This makes all sysadmin happy that are able to do handle the configure-make-make-install mantra. I guess that there's a similar way a user can manage a ~/my-kde tree but I never tried. Just my two ¤ cents, Achim P.S. IMHO the I-want-to-switch-daily-between-kde2-and-kde3-and-mess-up -my-.kde-dir.-unfortunately-I-don't-understand-to-build-form-cvs users is the one that drives Debian maintainers crazy. I would never expect or some one spending his free time to take this on his shoulders and therefore I will never ask for it. Remember just IMHO ;) -- To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen.
