short version of this sory from kde-core-devel:

I have a self compiled version of kde, and one from my distro. the one from my 
distro is found in /usr/bin, and my own in /usr/local/kde33/bin.

I made a script which starts the new system from GDM, after it sets the 
corr3ect environment variables. KDE loads.
When I run applications from konsole, I get the ones from my self compiled 
KDE, but when I run them from kdesktop, it seems that the ones in /usr/bin 
are loaded, some do not load at all. (kmail, korganizer).

I followed some instructions, and got no where.

kdesktop from my kde33 is loaded.

Tried that. Still, when I run kontact, I got the one in /usr/bin.

I will try and recompile kdepim, maybe I am having some problems in that 
module.
