That may have worked but it isn't correct.  {presuming that you log in 
with KDE} The environment should be set in "/etc/profile" and 
"$HOME/.bash_profile" {if you use Bash}

NOTE: it is the same with other shells except that the names of the 
scripts may be different.

and you need to be sure that either:

1.	Your "Xsession" script is a login script.

2.	Your "Xsession" script explicitly sources "/etc/profile".

Doing both is NOT a good idea!

The "Xsession" script for KDM can be found here:

	$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/Xsession

The problem which you describe (apparently starting KDE without running 
the profile scripts) was a bug in KDE-3.something and is supposed to be 
fixed.
