KDE gets installed to /usr (as it normally should be, just like all
other system products). unset KDEDIR and enjoy.

I filed a bug report a while ago and received a quite unclear response 
claiming that mpg123 now works "via esd", which is some kind of sound

Man, if an improperly set variable and a non-working non-critical

As a RedHat beta team member, I've been running an internal 5.8.6

and I am pretty satisifed with it. Still waiting to receive my 5.9 CD
though...
