Whether he's in this discussion or not, a personal attack is a flame, so not
really relevant.

The reason I haven't been suggesting /usr/kde3 is it definitely would be
against FHS. However I agree it would be better than /opt/kde3, especially if
we take note of Mark Brown's argument (from Re: Interpreting FHS):

I assume by this we mean people who have /usr on a seperate partition, which
is an argument for using /usr/kde3, but that means getting FHS changed.. hmm,
possible but difficult ;)
