When I try to start the KDE4 desktop or a KDE4 app, I always get this 
error message:

xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.

I think that I have all the environment variables set correctly:

KDEDIR=/usr/local/KDE-4.0
KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde4
KDETMP=/tmp/$USER-kde4
mkdir -p $KDETMP
KDEVARTMP=/var/tmp/$USER-kde4
mkdir -p $KDEVARTMP
KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
export KDEDIR KDEHOME KDETMP KDEVARTMP KDEDIRS

QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$QTDIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export QTDIR QT_PLUGIN_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH

PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export PATH

unset XDG_DATA_DIRS
unset XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
