The CVS KDE is not installed privately by another user, instead it is stuck away in a chrooted jail. I think I'll keep it like that. But I haven't yet found out how to connect an app running in the jail (or rather declining to run when there's no X session) to my normal X session. Presumably it's the same as with remote X sessions, which I haven't figured out as well.
