Going on past experience, the new one will be installed in 
/usr/kde/3.1.3 and the current one will coexist.  Don't worry about 
your personal settings - they will be preserved.

All  Versions of KDE 3.1 should be in /usr/kde/3.1. As these are mostly 
bigfixes it doesn't make any sense to have 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
The configs will normally not be changed by this update. The only 
problem I had was losing my saved session (I think the update form rc6 
to 3.1).

[gentoo-user] updating KDE - what will happen?

Hi,

probably in the near future there will be KDE 3.1.3 available for normal 
Gentoo users, right?

I'm just curious: what will happen when I then call an   emerge kde?

Will all old settings be preserved, the old KDE sources+binaries be
overwritten by the new KDE and the system be as stable as before?

Or would it be better to use konstruct and get my new KDE source tree
in a separate directory in ~?
