kde2/3 install

[Tony Alfrey]

I'm going to compile kde3 from source as I've compiled kde2 before many 
times with good success.
But I'm always very cautious and like to save a backup in case things 
crash.  Since installing 3 is not like just upgrading 2, I'd like to 
know the following:
99% of what gets compiled ends up in (depending on your choice)
/opt/kde3.
But there are "some" executables and maybe some scripts? that get 
written that can really make a mess unless they can be backed up 
and reinstalled to get back to 2 if need be.  Does anyone know for dead 
certain which things these are??  Are they environment-variable 
dependent??
Thanks!
