Not exactly but what is happening is the .kde4 you had in Hardy will in
intrepid became just plain ol' .kde. What do you suppose happens to all that
kde3 information? Why can't you just keep kde3 ? Because all your old kde
directories will be overwritten!

As other have said, KDE developers are pushing to only support the CURRENT
KDE. It takes man hours to support so they feel it is better spent in ONE

of KDE4 so far. I do however, have faith that it will get better!
