Strange, this has never been an issue and I keep multiple .kde directories.
See:
	http://www.kde.org/kde2-and-kde3.html
	http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/kde-config.html
For how to set it properly, and check it.

PS: My issues with .kde are different.  Stuff is stored there that should not be.
More personal stuff, like konqueror bookmarks, ought to be stored elsewhere.

And occasionally I must blow away the .kde directory.  Bugs in kde2 meant sometimes
I could not start kde until I cleaned out .kde.  Usually changing prefs to use
Hebrew did this.

Hi! I'm a do-it-yourself virus... please delete 4 files at random
from your hard drive.  Pass me on to all your friends.
