In both cases, it was intentional. There is no need to set the default
paths for XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME. They are included in the
"$HOME/.bash_profile" file for the KDE-4 user only to override any
possible settings elsewhere on the system. I did not include "export
QTDIR" because it is needed only to compile against Qt libraries, not to
run application compiled against them.
However, I should have added some comment about both issues (and I have).

That would be KDEHOME.
