That's correct.

Actually I think the '--prefix' option is more to help the configure script 
find where the KDE install is. I always point it to my KDE setup.

Come to think of it, I seem to recall we were already confronted to this 
problem long ago. People were trying to install "elsewhere" (/usr/local or 
whatever), but then it wouldn't integrate too well with KDE. The solution was 
setting correctly your KDEDIRS variable (note trailing S'). I honestly don't 
know.

Er, that's a KDE bug, which I fixed long ago. Upgrade your KDE, the fix has 
been in since 3.1.1 (may be before, I don't remember).
