This is c&p from a previous response to the same question. Workingness is not
assured :-)
- ------
What I did was just add the following lines to the beginning of
/usr/local/kde3/bin/startkde:
export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde3
export PATH=/usr/local/kde3/bin:$PATH:.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/kde3/lib
Then on the command line:
# ln -s /usr/local/kde3/bin/startkde /usr/bin/kde3
Then in /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc, add kde3 in SessionTypes. My SessionTypes
line looks like this now:
SessionTypes=default,blackbox,kde2,kde3,failsafe
It works fine. The change in kdmrc will likely get lost in a system
update of the kdm package but it's easy to change again and the next
kdm package will most probably be KDE3 anyway.
