I found two menu entries for konqueror: both started version 4. If I entered kde 3 and opened the browser, it was version 4, inside version 3. I opened a file with kwrite and it was version 4.
Everything that had a program in version 4 overrode the version 3 one, simply because the /usr path was found before /opt.
I don't doubt this is the case in factory (I still on 10.3),
The testing I did of KDE 4 was in 10.3 too. I haven't tested it in factory.
but what I want to say is that is not that KDE3 and KDE4 are incompatible from design.
I didn't meant that much :-)
It all depends how the distribution (or you) configure your system. So I think the correct way to solve the problem is to report any issue to the KDE openSUSE team, and hope that they will configure it correctly. :)
I did mention this problem in passing when reporting problems with the help system in KDE4. I thought that the path incompatibility problem was well known and didn't bother to report it. I did ask in another list and nobody knew a word or offered any solution. Do you know that help in KDE 4 stable (10.3) does not work at all? Nor in the live demo CD, as another user told me? Konqueror "help:something" claims that it can not render the docbook help files:
The requested help file could not be parsed: /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en//konqueror/index.docbook
This is such a flagrant problem that must surely be known to suse/novell, no? But they have problems reported in the suse help system since last August that are yet almost untouched, so maybe they don't.
On my machine I have two KDE3 versions, one self compiled KDE4 and I can chose anytime what version of a program (or even the full desktop) want to run...
That shows it can be done. But the version available to users like me doesn't. Don't think me wrong. I do test things and report them. I have a lot of Bugzillas open, some of them with very weird bugs. But I don't concentrate in KDE, as I'm a mostly gnome user that likes to use KDE apps inside gnome. I do like KDE, its just that I like simplicity in the desktop. And sometimes I run the fully fledged KDE desktop, too. So I think that problems with KDE must be reported by testers that take more time to test it than I do and that are more used to its tricks ;-) Ok, if I can I will try KDE4 on factory on the weekend, provided I find an easy way in YaST or zypper to install it. Hopefully there will be a pattern to select KDE3/4 :-? If the rpm bz2 payload problem doesn't hit me... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
