startkde first loads the .kde/env/*.sh scripts as one of the first things. A 
comment in startkde (from kde 3.4.x, of course, since that's what I have 
installed) indicates that kded takes care of sycoca:

# * Then kded is started. kded is responsible for keeping the sycoca
#   database up to date. When an up to date database is present it goes

So this would indicate to me that I don't have to care about sycoca as long as 
the pathes are properly set in the beginning.

Reinhold
