[PATCH] Set default Qt directory in startkde

[Percy Camilo Triveño Aucahuasi]

I always had solved this issue adding this lines on the startkde script:

export KDEDIR=$HOME/kde
export QTDIR=$HOME/qt-copy
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
if [[ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "" ]]
    then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib
    else export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi

I already reported a simular topic here:
http://lists-archives.org/kde-devel/14650-could-not-start-d-bus-check-your-installation-and-startkde.html

Hope this help

Greetings
Percy
