Leave layman installed, it's useful. You also need it if you want the
sunrise stuff.
Run KDE4 and 3.5 side by side for a bit till you are happy. They use
different directories in ~ so they don't clash:
kde-3.5 ~/.kde
kde-4 ~/.kde4
The only "clash" I experience is that a kbuildsyoca (without the 4) in kde4
environment causes kde3 quicklauncher to lose all contents except for the
Kontact symbol, kcontrol becomes empty and nothing from the k-menu works. If I
do the kbuildsycoca back in kde3, then log out and in again, everything is back
to normal, only the Quicklauncher remains empty. I got used to it thanks to
Katapult. :-)
then unmerge all of kde-3.5, verify with depclean, then delete the
overlay
I thought they changed all that? I have /usr/kde/3.5 but nothing for KDE
4. Equery shows this:
> r...@smoker ~ # equery files kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.3
Alan spoke about the configs and app data in ~. kdelibs naturally installs into
the system, not home. And if you don't enable the prefix useflag in the older
version (I believe they removed it a while ago anyway), then it installs HFS
compliantly into /usr instead of /usr/kde/$version.
PS.: I too use the kde3 overlay, as I am hesitant to switch as well. The bloody
NVidia graphics driver causes regular flickering and sometimes it all hangs. I
have orphaned entries in the task panel on a regular basis. KDM4 doesn't like
my preferred font size. And until the Akregator devs have dealt with
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190616 I can't use Kontact 4 either.
