Indeed, sorry for the typo. Thanks go to Stephen and Duncan for posting the
correct invocation.

Maybe try without the first line.
The code which does this inside startkde looks like this:
============
# Source scripts found in <localprefix>/env/*.sh and <prefixes>/env/*.sh
# (where <localprefix> is $KDEHOME or ~/.kde, and <prefixes> is where KDE is
installed)
#
# This is where you can define environment variables that will be available to
# all KDE programs, so this is where you can run agents using e.g. eval `ssh-
agent`
# or eval `gpg-agent --daemon`.
# Note: if you do that, you should also put "ssh-agent -k" as a shutdown
script
#
# (see end of this file).
# For anything else (that doesn't set env vars, or that needs a window
manager),
# better use the Autostart folder.
libpath=`kde4-config --path lib | tr : '\n'`
for prefix in `echo "$libpath" | sed -n -e 's,/lib[^/]*/,/env/,p'`; do
for file in "$prefix"*.sh; do
test -r "$file" && . "$file"
done
done
============
So it gets a list of paths by running querying kde4-config for "lib" paths.
It then basically replaces the "lib" word in each path with "env" and the
reads all .sh files in there.
Cheers,
Kevin
