You can set the home sub directory used by KDE for regular user by setting the environmental variable KDEHOME. I.E. in startkde3 script, if one does export KDEHOME=.kde3 [might need ~/.kde3, need to re-read the code to be sure], the KDE3 apps will use a different home directory, which is probably a good idea. Root, BTW, uses KDEROOTHOME, iirc
