out of curiousity -- when you compile it, why don't you just do "make
install," install the thing, and have done with it? do you intend to
distribute your rpms? if not, why are you bothering to make them?
(you surely know that you can use the "--prefix=/usr" configure
option to adopt red hat's (goofy, imho) default location for kde.

and it will start from the commandline in a terminal. this was a
little problem in 1.1 and 1.1.1-preX, but i thought it had gotten
fixed.

are you *sure* you have your 1.1.1 that you built yourself running?
