Bad install defaults for KDElibs

Hi,

in the package kdelibs-data the /etc/kderc file is present (its a 
symlink), this is not very nice since that means it becomes impossible to 
have another version of KDE running on the same machine.

KDE allows multiple versions by using the KDEDIR env-var to be set before 
calling startkde.  Unfortunately the new (own-compiled) version will then 
find the paths to the /usr/bin and /usr/lib and start using that, getting 
a nice mix of versions on my desktop.

I recommend to use KDEDIR and friends instead of the kderc file.
