I thought they changed all that? I have /usr/kde/3.5 but nothing for KDE
4. Equery shows this:

Alan spoke about the configs and app data in ~. kdelibs naturally installs
into the system, not home. And if you don't enable the prefix useflag in
the older version (I believe they removed it a while ago anyway), then it
installs HFS compliantly into /usr instead of /usr/kde/$version.
Correct.
KDE-3.5 installs into /usr/kde3.5/
KDE-4 installs into /usr/
with kdeprefix, KDE-4 *used* to install into /usr/kde4.1, /usr/kde4.2, etc but
this was a bad idea when it started and never got any better so it was canned.
Full gory details in the KDE4 docs on gentoo.org.
Short version: Do not use kdeprefix. Ever.
I wasn't thinking about the /home config but the KDE install itself.
Now we are on the same page. I see more clearly now. They did
mask/disable the kdeprefix USE flag. It's not a "option" anymore.
There is a lot that I like about KDE 4 but it just isn't quite usable
for everything I do just yet. It's getting there tho.
