Hi! I use SuSE 9.1 (kde 3.2.1) and want to compile kde 3.4.1. I have 
compiled kde 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 in the past on other distros, so I 
am not completely new to this procedure. I noticed tha SuSE installs kde 
in /opt/kde3, but has overriding icons and config files in 
/etc/opt/kde3. For example, 
/opt/kde3/share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps has a kmenu.png icon, the 
kde default, and /etc/opt/kde3/share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps has a 
kmenu.png, which is a lizard head, and is the kmenu icon. If I delete 
the lizard head, the icon goes back to the /opt/kde3/.../kmenu.png. I 
have seen the variable $KDEDIRS pop up in the past, but it isn't set in 
this case for me. How could I tell the kde I am going to compile to 
install in /opt/kde3, and look in but not write to /etc/opt/kde3 like 
SuSE has it? Do I need a patch for kde? Thanks!
-Steven
