Just change your env variables that apply, log out of X, out of the 
login shell, and back in.
These are (here anyway) :
QTDIR=/root/kde3.3-beta2
KDEDIR=/root/kde3.3-beta2
KDEHOME=/root/.kdetest
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/kde3.3-beta2/lib:(plus the usual suspects)

And make sure the new kde installs 'bin' dir is in the PATH before its 
exported.

You'll want to fix the MANPATH also for full access to the manpages.

I do all that in my ~/.bashrc
