I need to set some environment variables such as the XDG spec ones, before KDE starts in such a way that kwin and any apps run from KDE will inherit them. Where could I do this, and how?

Put them in a .sh file in ~/.kde/env/ (possibly ~/.kde4/env/ or similar; varies by distribution).

  • I've been trying that, but my XDG configs are still showing up in ~/.config such as ~/.config/akonadi, here's the scriptthat I copied to that directory. I actually gave this answer first, but deleted it when I realized it wasn't working

    @xenoterracide: The scripts must be named *.sh.
