And do not forget to set the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc etc if the app. 
in question has some other useful things to be used with other KDE apps....

Using KDEDIRS in KDE should really cover all these also ! I am speaking 
so because I am using KDevelop-3 configured to another place then 
$KDEDIR. I have to set: QTDIR, QMAKESPEC, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and also 
explicitly point to the KDevelop-3 include directory to use its 
development API for creating new KDevelop parts ...
