Try:
export KDEDIRS=$(kiosktool-kdedirs)
This sets KDEDIRS to the value returned by the "kiosktool-kdedirs" utility
that comes with kiosktool.

kiosktool-kdedirs will take a previous set $KDEDIRS into account.

With KDE 3.2.3 you do not need to set $KDEDIRS, KDE 3.2.3 will pick up the
profile all by itself. With older versions of KDE, including KDE 3.2.1 and
3.2.2 you need to use kiosktool-kdedirs to set $KDEDIRS.

Whenever a KDE application starts. /etc/kderc must contain the following two
lines for that:
[Directories]
userProfileMapFile=/etc/kde-user-profile
kiosktool adds these lines automatically.
