directory names for configuration files

[Hendrik Sattler <ubq7@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de>]

Hi,

I just looked at the chosen names and do not understand the reason for it:
- Why is it /etc/kde3 but ~/.kde?
- Why is ~/.kderc not a non-hidden file in ~/.kde?
- Why are the .DCOP* files not in ~/.kde? Does anything else use dcop?
- Why does ~/.kpackage exist?
