Thanks for your input Paul. I think I will just clean out my KDE 3.0 branch and then see what's left to better understand this non-standard kde scheme under Gentoo. It's still a bit confusing because even though I understand the symbolic link to .kde3.1 it seems that some files like bookmarks.xml are used inside my .kde3.1 directory while others like my konquerorrc file come out of my .kde3 directory. Very confusing to say the least. My .kde3.1 directory has hardly anything in it (at least config wise) while my .kde3 directory is full of stuff. Yet I always use KDE 3.1. Go figure. Oh well. I'll see what's left after I get rid of KDE 3.0 and go from there. Thanks again Paul. Carlos www.internetsuccess.ca -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
