Correct. KDE-3.5 installs into /usr/kde3.5/ KDE-4 installs into /usr/ with kdeprefix, KDE-4 *used* to install into /usr/kde4.1, /usr/kde4.2, etc but this was a bad idea when it started and never got any better so it was canned. Full gory details in the KDE4 docs on gentoo.org. Short version: Do not use kdeprefix. Ever. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
