Hello David,
Just wanted to give you an update...
I think I solved my problem,

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

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