we don't intend for the KDE RPMs to be relocatable, please do this at your own risk. We have integrated KDE set up in a different way than the 'usekde' script does and will remove it from our next release. |
The KDE initialization process for first-time users is broken: 1. If the KDE packages are relocated (rpm --relocate) to someplace other than /usr, the change is not reflected in /etc/profile.d/kde.{c}sh. KDE will not start until this file is edited to reflect the change. 2. The script 'usekde', for first-time KDE users, fails because it cannot locate the skeleton .Xclients file from any of a number of locations. Since I am a long-time KDE user with a working environment, I was able to correct this trouble fairly quickly. However, a novice wishing to use KDE will have significant difficulty.
