You can run KDE2 and your KDE 1.1.x at the same time.
Login as normal and run your KDE 1.1.x.

Install your KDEBase (but please make sure every KDE2 application or library
was compiled with $KDEDIR set to your _KDE2_ (on my system /usr/local/kde2)
installation path). If you want to make sure everything make a backup of your
KDE 1.1.x directory.

After that open an xterm and type  "export KDEDIR=<KDE2 instllation path>
QTDIR=<QT2 directory> && export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin/:$PATH && dcopserver && kded
&& kdcontrol".

After closing the xterm everything of your environment is the same as before.
You can do the xetrm-mothod everytime to execute an KDE2 application. Executing
BT 0.3 works directly without this method.

Try to start BibleTime 0.3 without doing the methods described above, will work
execept (perhaps) some color problems.

Hope this helps,
