Backwords compatable panel problem
We have a cluster of computers, all but one running either Madrake 8.2 with KDE 2.2.2 or Madrake 10 with KDE 3.2-79MDK. We cannot upgrade some of the computers to the newer verison due to legacy problems and this has created a problem with panels between the two versions. When a user switches from one version to the other the terminal emulation button, pager, systray and taskbar disappear. We were able to fix this for when a user goes from v2.2.2 to 3.2 by running a setenv KDEHOME $HOME/.kde3 line in the general .cshrc file which is host specific for the comps using 3.2. However this kind of fix does not work when a user goes from v3.2 to 2.2.2, and nothing I have tried can keep these applets in the panel when going backwards in versions. Is there an elegant solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance.
What happens if you move the KDE2 config into a different KDEHOME as well, lets say .kde2
Maybe something is broken and accesses configs under .kde even when KDEHOME is set.

Actually making a .kde2 for older kde and .kde3 for new made things worse and the new kde loses it panel items.
