I did try this too at first. I put both the paths in KDEDIRS and exported the 
variable in the ~/.profile file. With this setting I would have plasma load up 
with all applets saying something like "Unknown applet". Is there an order or 
preference for the path? and do I have to put the svn path after system path? 
Or are there compile to options I set for kdelibs?

Icons are in /usr/share/icons/oxygen/... Is this non standard?
