So is keeping an /opt/kde with a few mysterious items in it, as well as
an /opt/kde2 with the actual KDE2 a Caldera thing? And what about $KDEDIRS ?

If you don't ever have KDE1 installed (like a new Caldera 3.x install), then
what is the point of KDEDIR pointing to where KDE is NOT installed but
instead to a place that contains a few old relics present on the system for
no documented reason? As Calders compile everything froms scratch in their
distro (right?), what would want/need a place separate from where KDE2 is
installed?

If I later install a new KDE, then I place them elsewhere. But I am only
wondering about the original install of a single version of KDE2.
