Yes, I understand your questions. Let me explain this.

I didn't say that I don't have 64bit system. In fact, I have almost fully
64bit system. The only major part, which still remains on 32bit, is KDE.
Even X.org and other essential support things are 64bit. KDE uses just the
32bit compatibility libraries.

Of course, it is. But it is a question of time to convert all the system
to 64bit, you have to recompile all this. I've made a decision, that I will
switch KDE to 64bit together with a switch to KDE4. However, I still didn't
make this switch, because I still think that KDE3.5.10 is better for my
users than KDE4. BTW, kaffeine is still not ported to KDE4, I think.

Fully agree. As I've explained, I'm not doing it.

Yes, but you mean that I'm using some of the common distros. It's not right
assumption in this case :-). I'm not using any common distro.

I cannot install 64bit kaffeine until I compile most of the KDE for 64bit.
As I told, I don't want it for 3.5, I think it's a waste of time. I want
to do it for KDE4.x, but, I think the time for it didn't come yet. And,
one of the reasons is that kaffeine is still not KDE4 compatible.
So, I still think that this should work, otherwise all the 64/32 compat
stuff would be useless. It's there just for similar cases, and this is clearly
a bug or yet-not-done thing.
