To be clear: you can't combine libs of the 2.x series. Either all your apps 
use 2.1 libs or all your apps use 2.2 libs, you can't mix. 

Getting KDE 2.x running besides KDE 3.x will be a daunting task. It will put 
additional constraints on what we may change in KDE 3.x and I don't like that 
at all. I'm inclined to say that we shouldn't support KDE 2.x running in 
parallel with KDE 3.x at all. Yes, I know that sucks.

Cheers,
Waldo
