I can run some of these from a normal kde3 session. although I need to start 
dbus  in some cases.  For some reason,  kdebase4 will not build against my 
version of xorg.
I have even removed the 3.5.8 versions of kdegraphics, kdegames, and 
kdemultimedia.




I have a separate partition, built as a 64 bit system with xorg-modular and no 
kde3 stuff. On this system kdebase4 builds correctly.

I currently have a problem with the kdm4 start script, as it 
runs /opt/bin/startkde which looks for qdbus, so the PATH, must include this. 

/opt/bin/startkde  uses xmessage, which won't build on my system because it 
does not find the correct version of libxaw. It also seems confused about 
~/.kde (should this be ~/.kde4 ?)
The net result is that kde4 hangs at startup. I can only kill X 
(ctl-alt-backspace), but then the keybord does not work any more!
