They are located in the parent directory of the subdirectory of their 
namesake.  So if you have a directory called Documents containing only 
a subdirectory called personal, an ls of Documents would list the 
following:
personal  personal.directory

Just a half hour ago, up2date completed an update which included some 
kde libs, so I now have 2.2.2-2.  I'm not sure what 2.2.x-x I had 
yesterday and before, when these files were created.
