Same here :( I still don't understand why /usr/share/config/system.kdeglobals
is used (compiled in) and not /etc/kde2 despite the fact that kde_confdir is
set during configure of the kde packages.
AFAIU kderc, system.kdeglobals and ~/.kderc (never tried)
have a [Directories] group with items like
dir_XXXX=/path/to/additional/dir
with XXXX out of the list generated by kde-config --types
/etc/kderc is used by all kde installation (will see if/how "Ivan's"
/etc/kderc breaks a binary incompatible cvs-build that depends on QT3 >:}
<prefix>/share/config/system.kdeglobals is used by all kde apps build with
configure --prefix=<prefix> (or similar).
~/.kderc is used for all different kde builds a user may use (e.g., Ivans and
a cvs build)
??? never checked if the is a similar config file for $KDEHOME/share/config

Lost the thread, sorry. The goal is a mini-howto, right? Something like
how a sys admin can integrate additional kde tools that he/she added
to a, e.g., /usr/local/opt/kde2 tree and similar for a user added
kde tools to a, e.g., ~/mykde tree. I never used these variants,
maybe other can report how they did it.
I only have Ivans KDE debs and a parallel cvs build. I use
rm /etc/kderc
mkdir /usr/share/config
ln -s /etc/kde2/system.kdeglobals /usr/share/config/
and a /usr/bin/kde-cvs script that I add to kdms session menu.
This script sets the PATH, KDEHOME different form ~/.kde (just to be sure ;)
and starts startkde (from the cvs tree).

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.
