You'll have to make a new .desktop file with the full spiel, or run it from a terminal with all the environmental variables set. Personally I've just duplicated existing .desktop files (ie. menu entries) and then changed them to add the environmental variables (I'm using KDE4, but the KDE3 versions of stuff like Amarok and K3b and etc, so I have "Amarok-KDE3" and "k3b-KDE3" and etc menu entries).
Here's an example of the command for k3b:
Code:
PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:/opt/kde3/games:/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH KDEDIRS=/usr/:/opt/kde3/ KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde3/share/:/usr/share/ MANPATH=/opt/kde3/share/man k3b
So for Kile, I assume it'd just be:
Code:
PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:/opt/kde3/games:/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH KDEDIRS=/usr/:/opt/kde3/ KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde3/share/:/usr/share/ MANPATH=/opt/kde3/share/man kile
.
Sorry that I didn't see your post here for 3 weeks or so, my subscriptions page never seems to tell me when there's new posts, strangely (and I mainly lurk over at the Kubuntu forums, since to be blunt it seems more often that one gets answers over there).
Anyways, you've probably figured this stuff out on your own by now, but I figured just in case
