The dotfiles trick is a general KDE feature, not specific to Konstruct.
It still rocks, though :-)

I still want to be able to 
	export USER_PREFS_BASE=${HOME}/.settings
and have _all_ apps use that, but that's really just wishful thinking.

As for GARNOME, I've checked it out, but it only seems to want to build
the latest GNOME 2.5 snapshots. It was also a right pain to get some
things to build, even on my FC1 system @home. Perhaps there's something
I've missed. 

Konstruct impressed me with it's simplicity, the existance of useful
documentation, and it's flexibilty.

I realise; that's why I'm not too fussed about integration with it right
now.

Not only updated, but non-butchered as well.
