At a point before or during startkde runs.

An example would be startkde's own extension mechanism, i.e. you create 
an "env" directory in KDEDIR an put a file with .sh extension into it.
The file does not need to be executable, it will be soured by startkde.

In it you set the variables, like Rex demonstrated.

Cheers,
Kevin
