OK - I'll try to get the things right...pretty much to do because
KOffice depends on KDE-2.0 (at least the one in the CVS). There is
an old snapshot (May???) but quite a lot has changed since that
time (i.e. don't use it ;)

I did it like I explain it here, but I'm sure there are easier ways
to do that. I don't know your distribution either, so this might not
work for you (mine is SuSE-6.1)!

Set up a new account for KDE-2.0. I this account you have to create
a kde/ and a qt/ directory - here your local KDE&Qt 2.0 are installed
if you change some settings in your .bashrc, .profile, <whatever>.
This includes setting KDEDIR, QTDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH
and PATH to the new locations. If you do that you are able to work
whith 1.1.1 on one account, with 2.0 on the other :)

Before we start to work on KDE-2.0 we need some other packages:
1) autoconf-2.13
2) automake-1.4
3) Python-1.5x (not quite sure about this "x")
4) MICO-2.2.6 (note: the newest one!)

I think if you install MICO-2.2.6 your 2.2.3 has to disappear and
therefore you 1.1.1 KOffice (CORBA) will not work anymore!

Now that we got that right you have to fetch a Qt-2.00 package. I 
know that there are snapshots, but as I'm using public CVS I don't
know if KDE-2.0 is working with them (sometimes you have to get a
newer Qt because of strange compile errors...).

After successful (sp?) compiling of your new Qt get the latest
kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase (you don't really need this (at least
I think so), but then you have to launch KOffice from your 1.1.1
installation after su-ing to the new account...).
Of course you need the koffice-package, too :)

Now you have to compile this in the following order:
kdesupport
kdelibs
kdebase
koffice

Each package is compiled via:
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure --with-qt-libraries=/home/xxx/qt/lib (It seems that I
need this --with-qt... Otherways it takes the old Qt and complaines)
make
make install (You don't have to be root for that - it's located in
your home-dir - so you can't damage your 1.1.1 :)

Good luck!

I hope at least some of these informations are useful for you. If
some expert listenes (e.g. Reggie, Coolo), please "fix" this 
explanation :)
