I find the deinstall/reinstall leaves entries in the database and a pkg_delete is really required. With the ports, it removes the ../work/files and that really cleans things up. I eventually did a "pkg_info | grep kde" and removed all of the pre-version 2 installs. I hadn't thought about the $HOME/.kde's and wonder if some of my weird structure is due to stuff left behind. > > If you compile things by yourself, then things are a bit more difficult. I ended up going down the dependancy list in kde-2.0 and locating and then building each port on its own. That got me around some of the problems.
