First, the JSSE should have NOTHING to do with normal interactions like
pressing buttons. That sounds like a focus problem to me.
However, if you do want to enable JSSE, then go ahead. When KDE docs refer
to $KDEDIR or $KDEDIRS, they mean the directory where KDE is installed on
your system. For SuSE, this means "/opt/kde2". RedHat has it in "/usr". I
don't remember where Mandrake puts it.. probably in /usr. So if you want to
install JSSE system wide, you will have to create the directory
/usr/share/apps/kjava and put the necessary files in it.
The $KDEHOME variable, on the other hand, refers to your local KDE config
directory. This is usually $HOME/.kde ($HOME/.kde2 on SuSE). So if you want
to enable JSSE only for you, create the directory
/home/zippy/.kde/share/apps/kjava and copy the files into there.
Back to the focus problem, though: Can you give me a few site pointers where
the java applets don't work for you? Also, what version of KDE does Mandrake
8.0 ship with? KDE 2.1.1?
