Validity is not the problem.

But you cannot start any other windowmanager with this change, not even the 
KDE coming with your distribution.

So defining $WINDOWMANAGER is more elegant.

However you may argue that this is only needed when the user wants to use 
other window managers than the one of KDE CVS HEAD. If you have a special 
user account for KDE CVS HEAD, both methods do not make any difference.
