I will study all of this. I've been looking at the GUI hack and am glad it still applies. It sounds like I need to treat kde3 (and qt3) like the hack for kde2. In other words, make an executable called kde3 that is an as-you-described modified start script that sets environment variables and the other start-up stuff?
