In ~/.bashrc of the new user, add:

export KDEDIRS=<PREFIX_TO_KDE>
export PATH=<PREFIX_TO_KDE>:$PATH

and ~/.xinitrc of the user should have

<PREFIX_TO_KDE>/bin/startkde .

With of course, <PREFIX_TO_KDE> replaced by... KDE's installation prefix.

Kind regards,

Sorry -- but changing ~/.bashrc & ~/.xinitrc does not fix the problem.
