This is just yet another reason why I recommend not using .bashrc for this at all,
but the cd_function that sets the environment when entering the kde4 environment.
Then it doesn't matter how to become that user (tty login, X, su, ssh...),
and you can even avoid having to deal with two users, and do everything (kde3 and \
kde4) as ONE user.
