martin@merkaba:~> cat .kde/env/kdedirs.sh 
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z $KDEDIRS ]; then
        export KDEDIRS="/usr/local/"
else
        export KDEDIRS="/usr/local/:$KDEDIRS"
fi

if [ -z $QT_PLUGIN_PATH ]; then
        export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/kde4"
else
        export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/kde4:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH"
fi
