How are you folks ensuring the Trinity run-time environment variables do not clash with those of the same name in KDE4?

I would appreciate a response to this.

I intend to start trying to build in the latest Slackware release, which has KDE4 installed. As Slackware no longer supports KDE3, those KDE4 environment variables point to the same locations previously used in KDE3.

I'm not looking for the variables used in building --- those variables are documented in the wiki. I'm referring to those variables used in running Trinity.

Possibly $KDEHOME is the only one not documented at the wiki. What is the default location for that variable in Trinity?

When I build packages for Slackware I suspect I need to define $KDEHOME as $HOME/.trinity or $HOME/.kde3 to avoid conflicts with $HOME/.kde being used by KDE4.

Thanks.

Darrell
