Subject:    How do I get the cvs KDE to run?

Having downloaded and successfully compiled cvs versions of kdesupport, 
kdelibs and kdebase to /opt/kdex I now find I cannot try it out.

$>  startx /opt/kdex/bin/startkde

just calls up the old version, but without a lot of the settings (e.g. no 
Alt-F2, no background.
It is clear that I should be doing something else but I have no idea what.


My base system is SuSE 7.1 which gives me KDE1 in /opt/kde
and KDE2.0.1 in /opt/kde2.  The 2.0.1 still works (except there are 
complaints from DCOP if I do anything out of the ordinary).

So far, I have:
  added kdex to wmlist
  copied ~/.kde2 to make ~/.kdex
  changed the new startkde so kdehome=$HOME/.kdex
  created symlink '/usr/X11/bin/kdex' to '/opt/kdex/bin/startkde'

What else do I need to do?
