Hello, Everyone :)
This message has a two-fold purpose:
1. Before I comment further on anything relating to this topic, I'm
going to re-read the entire thread, and any other relevant threads that
may be mentioned while I read this one.
2. In the interest of the greater amount of people who might be trying
to install KDE from source on Fedora Core 1, I tried to install KDE
3.2.2 on our system.  It compiled without error, or disaster of any
kind.  Translated into english: the compilation and installation went
perfectly, and if I wanted to use KDE 3.2.2 instead of KDE from CVS
HEAD, I have fully functional (except for some missing icons)
installation of KDE 3.2.2.

Anyway, I'm going to re-read this thread, and get back to you whenever
it seems appropriate :)
