I've been using this for some time now, but on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) it's
still puts all its files in ~/.kde3. When I upgrade to 10.04, I'll
have to move everything over...and change all my config paths. Not
sure why he didn't keep the .kde3 convention, other than the fact that
(from his web site), " This project is not an official continuation of
KDE3.5 by KDE e.V., which will not be creating new releases. This is an
independent fork using a largely separate developer community."
