Yes, why don't we tweak upstream so that an unsupported older version can run alongside.
Nothing against kde3, but if you want to use older versions, you're responsible to solve the incompatibilities (which you're trying to do) and perhaps maintain your own patches for whatever is needed. I do not see a need to change Arch's 'official' packaging for this.
I now know what the problem is. The current kde4 build will create a:
/var/tmp/kdecache-<user>/ksyscoca and /var/tmp/kdecache-<user>/ksyscoca4
if kde3 is left installed on the system. This is a bug. kde4 shouldn't generate a 'k'de 'sys'tem 'co'nfiguration 'ca'che for kde3 -- period. Removing kde3 does indeed solve the problem, but I notice no requirement to do so on the wiki. Do we want to drop a note there?
IMO there's no need, anymore than we should 'require' on the wiki for people to stop using gcc 3.6.
No, it's worth a note for that kind of thing. We no longer support KDE3, but the wiki can house any kind of information, especially useful ones like this.
