I think Martin is mistaking it for KDEDIR, which is phased out because there is KDEDIRS The best way to set KDEHOME is to extend the environment of startkde by putting a file with the respective export statement into the env/ directory On Debian KDE is installed in /usr, so startkde will look in /usr/env for files to source (include into itself) The only requirement for the filename is that its extension has to be ".sh", but since it is sourced it doesn't need to be executable.
