You don't need to that in your new KDE version.

/usr/bin/env is an executable, I am talking about /usr/env, a directory.

Somewhere at the beginning of startkde it fetches a list of directories using
kde-config --path exe

it then iterates over this list and replaces "bin" with "env", thus in a 
Debian installation you end up with at least "/usr/env"

It then checks if this directory exists, lists all files with ".sh" extension 
and sources them.

For example on my system I want KDE to store temporary files on the /var 
partition rather than on /tmp, so I set the KDETMP variable

kevin at poseidon:~$ ls -l /usr/env/01-tmpdir.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 2005-04-12 00:32 /usr/env/01-tmpdir.sh
kevin at poseidon:~$ cat /usr/env/01-tmpdir.sh
export KDETMP=/var/tmp

#clean stale files
rm -rf $KDETMP/kde-$LOGNAME*

kevin at poseidon:~$

No need to change startkde or hack around it since KDE 3.4 IIRC

Cheers,
Kevin
