Yep.. I am the maintainer for www/linux-opera and I was expected that KDE
is in /usr/X11R6 for the icon stuff, because of a lot of GUI apps are
install in /usr/X11R6. I never get the feedback about linux-opera with
KDE, until last week I found out that KDE is install in /usr/local (I
don't use KDE and never check on KDE's prefix until now). I will have to
change from ${X11BASE} to ${LOCALBASE} to put the Opera icon in the
${LOCALBASE}/share/applnk for KDE.
It is how it got me wondering and curious about hier(7) to see if it needs
to clean or else. :-)
