News flash, Konstruct does not do configuration!!

Normally, that would be in: .bash_profile, but wouldn't you want to put
this in: "profile" or a 'profile.d' script?

That would probably be KDEDIR if you only have one. :-)

This doesn't do anything unless you are starting KDE from a console
with: "startx".

The problem is that KDE is not finding your: xdg directory the related
'desktop' files.

You can add two environment variables:

	XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KDEDIR/etc/xdg
	XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KDEDIR/share
	export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS XDG_DATA_DIRS

Exactly where to put this is a good question.  If all you run is KDE
then you can put it in "profile" or a 'profile.d' script.
