Help on using Konstruct

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

To bring up KDE-3.4 I mimicked what I had done for Garnome.

* Create two files:

.xinitrc
        #!/bin/sh
        exec /usr/local/bin/kde-session
        
kde-session
        !/bin/sh
        
        # set up the environment
        QTDIR=/opt/kde3.4
        KDEDIR=/opt/kde3.4
        PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        PYTHONPATH=$KDEDIR/lib/python2.3/site-packages
        PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
        XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KDEDIR/share:/usr/share
        GDK_USE_XFT=1
        MANPATH=$KDEDIR/share/man:$MANPATH
        
        export QTDIR KDEDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH
        PKG_CONFIG_PATH GDK_USE_XFT XDG_DATA_DIRS MANPATH
        
        # start KDE
        exec $KDEDIR/bin/startkde

I don't know if all of this stuff is necessary.

* delete existing ~/.kde stuff

* run "startx"

The KDE desktop comes up and runs.
