It never was needed, it's just an extra precaution for people who want to separate kde3 and kde4 as much
as possible. Everything works fine without KDETMP set (then both envs use the same tmp dir,
which isn't a problem since tmp files don't have hardcoded names), and everything works fine with
KDETMP set, too.
