Package: kwin
Version: KDE 2.2.1 
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I've decided to set up a separate directory from my main KDE install so that I can \
keep core KDE stuff apart from other KDE apps.  I've got it set up now so $KDEDIR \
points to /opt/kde22, my main KDE dir, and $KDEDIRS is /opt/kde22:/opt/kdeapps, with \
/opt/kdeapps being where I put apps I compile later on.  This works fine, except that \
updates to /opt/kdeapps don't seem to get noticed immediately.  For example, if I \
install a program without specifying a prefix of /opt/kdeapps (so it goes to \
/opt/kde22), kicker immediately picks up the application and lists it.  If I put it \
in /opt/kdeapps, kicker doesn't notice it till KDE is restarted.  The same for \
ioslaves.  They work right after installation into /opt/kde22, but I have to restart \
KDE if I put them in /opt/kdeapps.

I'm not precisely sure what package this should be reported to, I hope this is \
acceptable.
