Darrell Anderson <humanreadable(a)yahoo.com> a écrit :
I didn't
do it with KDE3/Trinity but with KDE4/Trinity I
can run a
regular KDE4 session, and a Trinity session as another user
either in
another X server or in Xnest; but I can't run both KDE3 and
KDE4 as the
same user on different X servers. There is no $PATH
conflict since
Trinity automatically adds $PREFIX/bin in top of the
$PATH.
But with KDE3/Trinity ld.so may get confused if Tim didn't
make the
necessary internal version number upgrades (and it seems
libkdecore is
still at 4.2.0 so it's a bad sign… with KDE 4.5
libkdecore is at
version 5.5.0).
Well, I can hear the peanut gallery in the background: the only way
to know for sure is jump into the water and let everybody else know.
I'm just trying to gather sufficient information to avoid anything
nasty.
If either desktop freezes or crashes trying to run both concurrently,
that is no big deal and probably nothing more than deleting cache
files before restarting. Worst case is a library conflict that causes
data corruption, but during those test I won't run critical apps like
KMail.
As I said, although still inconvenient, fully exiting either desktop
is better than rebooting. Not much, but still better.
Excuse me, I apparently
didn't read the part where you were saying that
both worked separately. Since each user is separated by security
policies there should be no problem running Trinity and KDE3 in
parallel as different users.
