keeping kde 3.5.X base whilst upgrading applications

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Hi, some applications that are the reason I installed KDE in the first 
place will not have KDE 4.X versions for quite a while (Quanta Plus, 
Rosegarden). I intend to stay on KDE 3.5.X until all KDE applications 
that I use have KDE 4.X versions or better equivalent applications.

I'd appreciate it if users in a similar situation could explain what 
worked and didn't work for them in trying to carry out the same goal.

At this stage I've upgraded libraries that were at 4.2.1 version to the 
new 4.2.2 version, along with some applications, but I have not upgraded 
the core parts of KDE that are still at 3.5.9/3.5.10. The only running 
KDE 4 app that the upgrade process notified me of was nepomukservicestub.

Thanks to the Debian KDE developers/packagers for easing the transition 
to KDE 4.X.

Arthur.
