Want KDE 3.5 look and feel

It would appear that on Sep 13, Dotan Cohen did say:

I wouldn't mind. But to be honest, my understanding of that
script is minimal. I had commented the beginning of it to remind myself
what I needed to do to use it. But As you requested, I've commented
the rest of it as best as I know how... And uploaded it... Use the same 
url to access it.

Mainly I had used the e17_setup.sh (which I got from the ppurka link I
mentioned in the initial script comments...) to extract the settings I
had laboriously established on one of my e17 installations. Basically
ppurka's script converts them into a bash script that uses
enlightenment_remote to restore those values.

I had tried to get a better idea about how to use enlightenment_remote  
by booting into e17 and running: "enlightenment_remote --help" 
But most of it was over my head. But by comparing that with the bash
script that was output by ppurka's script, I learned to add a few odds
and ends to that bash script. And I then figured out how to trim it
down to a few minimal things that I was reasonably sure would remain
the same no mater which e17 version I wound up with... They are mostly
key & mouse bindings. But also include setting up my virtual desktop
count etc...  

Since I generally install e17 to a kde based system, I've already
fought with kde to get it set up as close as I can get to what I want.
Including booting to text mode (I use startx with ~/.xinitrc file(s))
And ensuring that kde's konsole application has my required profiles,
(or comparable schemas if it's kde3x) Next I installed at least most of
the applications I require. Then I generally add and configure e16. And
finally I add e17. Next I edit that trimmed down e17_setup_first_run script
as necessary, and run it so that I can stand to use e17 long enough to
work on the rest of the configuration. Then I use ppurka's script to
generate a more complete e17_setup script which I place where my
simplistic Ebindview script expects to find it. If I'm lucky nothing will
trash my e17 configuration, But if it does, I can get most of it back by
running that script.

Well then, perhaps (If I get the time) Elive may just replace my
seldom booted, and outdated OpenSuSE as the third distro on my laptop.
