I have a laptop where kde3 seems to freeze needing init 3 followed by init 5 until it freezes again with mouse cursor moveable, but does nothing and keyboard also does nothing, so at the login prompt I chose the kde4 session and all is well.

When using kde3, e.g., "which startkde" returns /opt/kde3/bin/startkde and when using kde4 it returns /usr/bin/startkde. I am able under kde3 to start the kde4 version of kate by issuing "/usr/bin/kate".
On one laptop /usr/bin/kate doesn't exists, but in the applications menu it lists "kde3/kate" which works.

Where both the kde3 and kde4 apps are installed, kmenu lists both, so there is no confusion.

Except that in mine, in kde 3 there are two entries for konqueror, and both start kde 4 konqueror. I have no way to start kde 3 konqueror while kde 4 is installed, because both are in the path, and /usr is before /opt.

The same happens for several apps: when an app is available in kde4, I have no way to start the kde 3 app, because it is the version 4 one that runs.

Maybe with version 4 only things run better, dunno. But not all apps have been migrated, I understand.
