Updated svn. Will be several hours before I can provide a report.

In the mean time, I see the newest version of startkde.

I found a few spots where I updated some of the echo messages since I sent you my last proposed copy. In these messages I added the "startkde: " prefix. Those prefixes help people debug because they then know from where the messages derive. Cosmetic only, but helpful.

I added two echo messages regarding XDG. Again, cosmetic but helpful.

Notes about the new startkde in svn.

I submitted a change that checked and created KDEROOTHOME. Have you seen that change in my previous messages. Have you decided against that change and incorporated the same checks in the base code? My ego is not at stake :) --- I'm just checking to make sure.

There are two sections in the current svn startkde that repeat. Start at line 139:

if [ -d /opt/kde3 ]; then
  if [ -n "$KDEDIRS" ]; then
    export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/opt/kde3/:/usr/
  else
    export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3/:/usr/
  fi
fi

if [ -d /opt/kde3 ]; then
  if [ -n "$KDEDIRS" ]; then
    export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/opt/kde3/:/usr/
  else
    export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3/:/usr/
  fi
fi

In my proposed script the second snippet reads:

if [ -d /opt/trinity ]; then
  if [ -n "$KDEDIRS" ]; then
    export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/opt/trinity/:/usr/
  else
    export KDEDIRS=/opt/trinity/:/usr/
  fi
fi

I don't know whether you want my snippet or meant to delete the second repeating snippet in the current startkde.

New proposed startkde attached.
