I also have CentOS at home. There are quirks, though: for example, I tried
to run kaffeine last night, and it couldn't find libkaffeinepart.so. I
tried adding /opt/kde3/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to LOAD_LIB<whatever>, and
even did an ldconfig, and it *still* can't find it (I run icewm, btw, not
KDE).

   mark, *hoping* they'll fix my phone line, so I'll have DLS tonight
