Guys, this is useless. Look here:
coolo@othello#coolo>export KDEDIR=~coolo/kde
coolo@othello#coolo>echo $KDEDIR
/home/coolo/kde

So if this code is called at all, you've set KDEDIR to '~foo' to
avoid the shell expansion - and then you're to blame. The
code is there to catch the ~ special case localkdedir in case 
you su - then the ~ is replaced with the user running the
application, not to those that set localkdedir.

Greetings, Stephan
