Using kdepim trunk from a different prefix than the rest of kde (3.4)

[Reinhold Kainhofer]

Hi guys,
I have kde 3.4 installed from debian packages (all of kde, including kdepim) 
into /usr, but I also have kdepim trunk compiled into /opt/kdepim_HEAD.

Now, for one account I don't want the 3.4 binaries, but rather the one 
in /opt/kdepim_HEAD. In ~/.kde/env/variables.sh I have

kde_dir=/opt/kde_HEAD
export KDEDIRS=$kde_dir:/usr
export PATH=$kde_dir/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$kde_dir/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

which works just fine for everything started from the konsole (and anything 
that doesn't have a version installed in /usr). 

The problem is that anything started by kde (e.g. started by session 
management, or by Alt+F2, or korganizer started by a klick on the korgac 
systray item) uses the binary from /usr, but the libraries 
from /opt/kdepim_HEAD (which are not binary compatible with 3.4). I guess 
this happens because the .desktop files are still taken from the /usr 
installation?

How can I make kde start the binaries from /opt/kdepim_HEAD, too?

Cheers,
Reinhold
