I added my prefix to /etc/kderc, but = that didn't=20 help, only after running kbuildsycoca things worked again.
 
Then I had a look around in my = /usr/local/bin dir=20 and I found a startkde and a startkde.lib file. The startkde.lib file = let you=20 set some parameters, so I put my kdedir and kdedirs definitions in = there. After=20 restarting the situation was still the same. (Long start cycle = indicating a=20 rebuild of the sycoca data).
 
I looked at startkde next. I have a = suse 8.2=20 distribution and there is a lot of hardcoding in this file! I also saw = the=20 following lines :
 
unset KDEDIR
unset KDEDIRS
unset QTDIR
 
I transformed those into comments, and = that does=20 the trick. I can start all of the koffice applications now.

I guess I can repeat the whole process = now with the=20 RC 1 version :)
