This needs cleanup of KDE3. Current hack of setting KDEHOME screws up KDE2 applications started out of KDE3. And menu methods for KDE3 are still using .kde/ and not .kde3/ as user prefix. KDE3 has to be recompiled with KDEHOME defaulting to ~/.kde3, menu methods fixed then you can really use them in parallel (and even run KDE2 apps out of KDE3 and vice versa). -andrej
