Waldo said that it is not strictly necessary to follow the variable if set, 
however it is necessary to set it if the session uses a prefix (even a 
hardcoded one).

I haven't checked the lastest KDE packages yet, but if they don't already, 
they should very likely set the variable to "kde-" in /usr/bin/startkde

Cheers,
