Understood. That's why I said it was kinda off-thread as it doesn't 
apply to your situation. But others may not know about the kde-redhat 
project, so I threw it out there.

FWIW, I keep the main kde installation up to date (currently kde 3.1.2, 
RHL 8.0) using apt and the kde-redhat project, for use by the wife and 
kids. Personally, I run KDE from CVS. Just started building what will be 
3.2, but haven't actually run it on a regular basis. Sticking with 3.1 
branch for now. (Yes, I have two CVS versions of kde installed, plus a 
released version.)
