Note that the RH7 rpm's are actually installing KDE2 in/usr as the KDEDIR root. This is very different from the preview set of RPMs of KDE2pre which comes with RH7 on the second CD (they go into/usr/lib/kde2 as the KDEDIR root dir).
This also means that the following file needs to be edited to allow switchdesk to work properly:
/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.kde2
I've edited it to look like:
#!/bin/sh
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
export KDEDIR=/usr
exec/usr/bin/startkde
and then you'll have to run switchdesk kde2 to get your account configured properly.
Also if you are running devfs in 2.4.0, you will need to create/dev/cdrom (link it to the correct device in/dev/ide or whatever) for kscd to work.
I'm sure there are more gotchas, but that's what I've found so far.
