Andrew,

I did not have to! The rpms take care of that. Read on ...

This is the directory used by kde2 under Mandrake.

Impossible since there's no such file (maybe the rpm install removed it), so no \
confusion possible. What is there is a kde3.sh which prepends $KDEDIR/bin to the \
contents of PATH, like it should. I added vars KDEDIR & QTDIR in there as well. It \
didn't matter shit.

Like I said, it was taken care of. Just for completeness I moved .kde aside so no \
confusion would be possible. I logged out completely and back in to KDE3 but no \
change. Still that rotten failure. I then removed .kde3 and let KDE3 create that \
anew. Still the same fuckin' problem. I'm beginning to think sth. went wrong during \
compilation (these are the kde3.0.4 rpms for Mandrake). On the other hand I didn't \
see anyone else complain about this. Maybe they're not aware still. Can anyone else \
using these same rpms confirm things work for them? 

Cheers,
Guy.
