This will slow down all KDE applications because KDE has to search much more
dirs to find application resources (especially in case /usr/local is NFS mounted)
Alternativ: Now that the /usr/share/config/ points to /etc/kde3/ the config file
/etc/kderc is not necessary at all anymore. dpkg-divert it until /etc/kderc is
removed in postinst script. Now define in /etc/kderc an additional KDE
hierarchy e.g. in /usr/local if it's necessary. (Maybe the kde pkgs can
provide a example /etc/kderc with commented out /usr/local settings).

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
