SVN commit 579568 by lunakl:

In addition to $KDE_FULL_SESSION add also KDE_FULL_SESSION
X property set on the root window (of the default screen).
This allows detecting whether KDE is running even from things
like "ssh -X" or kdesu which don't preserve the environment.
See the comment for more details.
