You have to set the environment variable _before_ starting KDE. Sadly, Debian
does not do this. However, you can manually do it:
$ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10local_userenv
USERENVFILE=$HOME/.environment
if [ -f $USERENVFILE ]; then
source $USERENVFILE;
fi
also source this file where you normally write your environment stuff (e.g.
~/.bashrc).
Now set the environment in ~/.environment and your problem is gone. As already
stated here, KDE3.3 will make this a bit easier (maybe they finally realized
the problem).
