I shutdown, rebooted and went directly to run level 3 as root and installed 
it, too.  From another post it appears that you have to wipe out some files 
in ~/.kde2 as they conflict.  I haven't tried that yet.  I may create a new 
user and see if all his stuff works.

If this is supposed to happen then that's fine - I was just worried because 
it was something different and with all the problems I'd had.
