Hmm, no Debian doesn't seem to set either of them. "Alt+F2 env>~/somefile" 
creates somefile with these environment variables:

DESKTOP_SESSION=default
DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID=curie.fam.tuwien.ac.at;1123085456;795346;19855_TIME706395593

XCURSOR_THEME=default
XDM_MANAGED=/var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-:0,maysd,mayfn,sched,rsvd,method=classic
XPSERVERLIST=:64
_=/usr/bin/env

and kde-config --path services also uses the correct pathes.

I'm really lost here... 
And it's really hard to work and debug properly when e.g. korganizer tries to 
start kmail (for the imap resource) and starts the wrong /usr/bin/kmail 
(which crashes, because it tries to load the bic librarys 
from /usr/opt/kdepim_HEAD)...

Cheers,
Reinhold
