Well, for what it's worth I agree that switching back and forth is important. Certainly while KDE2 is in development. On the KDE site there is a page that describes the configuration for running both and switching back and forth. http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html I'm not competant enough at this point to set it up, (I haven't even gotten the kde2 port to work yet) but it would be nice if the kde2 port set things up to make switching easy.
