KDE and default enviroment , $KDEHOME ??

[Izo]

1. KDE default enviroment setup

Please, somebody, tell me where the KDE takes the default enviroment 
when kdm is run and where when user logs in.

Why the question ?

I have installed the KDE-3.1.92 using Konstruct parallelly to default 
kde, of course configured to different directory. Now I want to set the 
default enviroment for the KDE-3.1.92 applications as QTDIR, KDEDIR, 
PATH to both of new Qt, KDE, QTMKSPEC etc etc to not clash the new apps 
with the default KDE ones.

I have tried to set them prior to kdm start - no success - the 
/etc/profile is used to define PATH afterwards
When using $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.profile it affects only Konsole / 
xterm but not the KDE apps run from K-menu.

It is just annoying since some apps really do clash with the old ones 
and thus crash.


2. $KDEHOME

Another question - about the $HOME/.kde directory. I would really not 
like to use the same for both default and new KDE but I would like to 
use the same login user to work with either with default or new KDE. I 
have changed the KDEHOME setup in the $KDEDIR/bin/startkde script with 
no effect. How to do it properly ?
