FWIW, I skipped the usual explanation for $KDEHOME. Looks like I shouldn't have. $KDEHOME if set changes a KDE default. The default, if not set, is ~/.kde4 , tho it's possible for that to be changed at compile-time as well. So $KDEHOME is simply a shortcut for saying "~/.kde4 (unless you or your distribution has changed it to something else, either at compile time, or using the $KDEHOME variable)." -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
