Ok, maybe I'm confused, but how does that work if you want to compile
other apps from tarball? $KDEDIR/include/kde is a non-standard location
and even the header files themselves expect the stuff to be in
$KDEDIR/include (example: kapps.h has a #include <kurl.h> ). Having
those headers in $KDEDIR/include/kde basically forces you to have an
extra include flag -I$KDEDIR/include/kde whenever you want to compile
anything standard as all KDE apps I've seen so far check for
$KDEDIR/include, but not for $KDEDIR/include/kde (just had a case like
that yesterday with kvoctrain) - or am I missing something here?

Fair enough, then I'll go for a rebuild - thanks for the explanation!

That has been the cause of long discussions on several mailing lists
and many a flamewar over the past 1-2 years, I suppose... :-}
My main concern would be the potential problems arising from the
$KDEDIR/include/kde choice, as described above - but as I said, maybe
I'm just overlooking something.
Other than that, I like /opt/kde a) for historic reasons (my partitions were
set up for kde.org's kde-1.1.2 RPMs, with a link /opt/kde ->
/usr/local/kde), hence my /usr has no space for KDE (and I'm too
lazy to repartition...) and b) because I think it's tidier to keep the
whole KDE stuff in one location. But that's just me.
Cheerio,
Thomas
