 Has anyone come up with a good way to switch between KDE and KDE2?  So
far,
 all I've managed to do is give myself a headache figuring out how all the
 scripts work and interact...

The answer is really simple : create two scripts, kde1 and kde2,
which export QTDIR, KDEDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH (not necessary if 100% of the
apps use -rpath),
and prepend $KDEDIR/bin to PATH.

source whatever script you want from command line, and you switched to the
other environment.

If the problem is also how to do it on startup, well it's just about
adding a new environment in kdm (see kdmrc) and the check for it
in the xdm config file that has the corresponding switch. (In
that file, source the correct kde[12] file and launch startkde).

HTH.
