Yeah, I found that out, see the audit trail. I'm just wondering how new users
can be warned about this in advance. If someone else tries installing kde2
from ports, and then runs kscd, it will core dump. This should not be the
case. The user should either be notified after installing kde2 or kscd, or the
program should just display a warning or something.
