You can set the home sub directory used by KDE for regular user by setting 
the environmental variable KDEHOME.

I.E. in startkde3 script, if one does export KDEHOME=.kde3 [might need 
~/.kde3, need to re-read the code to be sure], the KDE3 apps will use a 
different home directory, which is probably a good idea.

Root, BTW, uses KDEROOTHOME, iirc
