Fix for kde 3.1+3.0.x installs (x86) (bug #15593) - please read

Hello everyone,

Lots of people have complained that the new kdelibs-3.1-r1 and
kdebase-3.1-r1 don't work for them when kde 3.0.x is installed as well: kde
3.1 shows the kde 3.0.x splashscreen and then hangs.

This is due to a misunderstanding: for things to work, you need to install
the latest 3.0.5a revisions as well, namely kdelibs-3.0.5a-r2 and
kdebase-3.0.5a-r1. Unfortunately portage isn't smart enough to include
upgrades of older slots in the world update list. So kde 3.0.x must be
upgraded manually to these newer revisions, or things will break.

A quick fix for the problem if you don't want to spend hours compiling
right now is to edit /etc/env.d/65kdelibs-3.0.5a (or 65kdelibs-$ver for any
older 3.0.x version $ver). Remove the line that says
KDEDIRS=/usr/kde/3. Run env-update and restart kdm.

I apologize for the problems this must have caused. I hope this will be
a swift fix.
