I'm using most of the time KDE 3.5.10, but recently started to run often KDE
4.2.1 in another session, as another user. Having separate user accounts for
for each version keeps settings separated, but inconvenience is, for instance
email handling.
Without snapshot [keyboard PrtScrn] of the settings I can't tell is that a
bug, or just normal behavior.
For some settings you have to be root user. On such pages there is a button at
the bottom Administrator Mode. Press it, give root password and you can
change all settings, otherwise you can change only user settings.
That is the reason that some settings are available only in Administrator
Mode. For instance Date & Time. You can't set different time for each user.
