For those having difficulties running KDE2-alphas and KDE1, here are the
scripts I used on my Mandrake 7.0 machine. There are probably many
other ways, but this works for me ...

# invocation adds to the PATH. The "$HOME" is needed to ensure that

cut -d: -f2- $HOME/tmp.$$>$HOME/tmp1.$$ && export PATH=`cat $HOME/tmp1.$$` && \
