Re: [kde-linux] interaction of kde3 and kde4 configurations

2008/7/31 <pkaplan1@xxxxxxxxxxx>

After installing kde4.1 on kubuntu 8.04 that had kde 3.5.9 already
installed I lost sound under 3.5.9. (My guess is that this occurred after
the first time I launched 4.1.) After much searching I discovered that the
problem lay in kde4.1 kmix. Apparently it is muted by default on
installation (no idea why) and even though 3.5.9 kmix is not muted, there is
no sound in any environment. After unmuting in 4.1, sound was restored.

This leads to my real question/problem.

I also noticed that after 4.1 was installed, session management on 3.5.9 is
flaky. Windows don't appear on the correct desktop and sometimes are in the
wrong position as well. I checked to make sure that session management is
enabled in both 3.5.9 and 4.1.

Has anyone else seen this windowing behavior? Is there a solution?

i don't knwo how kubuntu handles both versions on the same system, but my
gentoo box has 2 different .kde dirs and a .kde symlink that points to the
current kde session. try to check if kubuntu handles things in the same way.
if that's the way it works, then you'll just need to move elsewhere the 2
.kde3.5 and .kde4.1 dirs and then recreate them by doing a fresh login and
reconfiguring the stuff again.
