Is there a way to install kopete from kde4 in kde3, without breaking the kde3 installation?

If you use KDEmod's unstable repository you can have it along side.
You need to add the following lines to pacman.conf
[kdemod-unstable]
Server = http://kdemod.ath.cx/repo/unstable/i686
Then install the package kdemod4-kdenetwork-kopete
Some of the other KDE4 testing repositories might work too, but I'm not sure since I don't use any of them.

Be carefull with the configs if you use the kde3 version too.

DId you like taht? I found it pretty unstable and "crazy", if you get me.
But as a beta (I used the 4.1beta one) its acceptable.

Indeed I did! Kopete is one of the few apps that are absolutely usable on kde 4.1. Everything worked for me and it was very very stable.

Probably a silly question...
But how do I start the KDE4 version of Kopete?
I have installed the kdemod4-kdenetwork-kopete package, with pretty much other packages as dependency. Well, but Kopete didn't add itself to the Start Menu and I have no idea, what's the name of the application. I have already tried things like "kopete-kde4", "kopete4", etc. Unfortunately without any success.
Thanks for your help!

When i try to configure "list" options in kopete it crashes writing to console:

It seems that it caused by KHTML version mismatch. How can i make kopete to use KHTML from kde4?

I thought, that this was the KDE 3 version,
but indeed, it's the KDE4 Version.
Thank you!

Yahoo! I've figured it out! Here is small howto to run kdemod4's kopete in kdemod3:
First we need to install kdemod4-kdenetwork-kopete and kdemod4-kdebase-runtime-icons, then edit /opt/kde/share/apps/khtml/css/html4.css and change:
/*
* The default style sheet used by khtml to render HTML pages
* (C) 2000-2003 Lars Knoll (knoll@kde.org)
*
* Konqueror/khtml relies on the existence of this style sheet for
* rendering. Do not remove or modify this file unless you know
* what you are doing.
*/

That's all! If you want to separate kdemod3's kopete from kdemod4's kopete you can start it that way:
KDEHOME=~/.kde4 /opt/kdemod/bin/kopete
