I noticed that the only way it seems to have more than one dir by default in KDE that is a prefix is to use $KDEDIRS. However, we don't really want Debian users to have to mess with that. So I was trying to find a way to have both /usr and /usr/local usable for KDE and found that there isn't a way currently in kstandarddirs.cpp to read the KDEDIRS from kderc. Right now there is a hack (ifdef) to hardcode in $exec_prefix if one is set so that not setting KDEDIR/S works. So I am going to hack up an ugly patch to it to force looking in /usr/local as well for Debian. Yes, I know its damn ugly. :( Is there anyone here that knows kdelibs well enough to come up with a clean solution to this for KDE 3.2 (and maybe 3.1 if time permits)? Ideally it would possible to read a kdedirs, dir_prefix, or something to that effect from /etc/kderc so that it doesn't need to be hardcoded into the source. Thanks, Chris Cheney
