Yes, I think it would work, if people mainpulated $PATH and
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly...
We'd have to do some interesting hacking around the kde2 ports to make
sure they worked whether or not kde 1.x is installed.

Ok.

Yeah, mkstemps() was introduced around 3.4.

I didn't say your .xinitrc would be simple, I said the script in it
would be. ;)

I'm fairly certain we can override system search paths with
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

5.0-CURRENT, of course.. I'm a developer! :-P
I warned people that this whole thing had only be tested on 5-current
when I announced the finish of the import. ;-p
I also have a 3.4-STABLE machine that has a faster CPU, but I rely on it
having a "stable" interface so I can get work done...
