I got kde 3.4 beta 2 all done and ready installed in to home folder ~/kde3.4-beat2/ - and it says to:

After installation
==================
After installation you have to set some variables allowing your system to find
KDE binaries and libraries and KDE to allow to find its own files, for Bash:

export QTDIR=~/kde3.4-beta2
export KDEDIR=~/kde3.4-beta2
export KDEDIRS=~/kde3.4-beta2

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/kde3.4-beta2/lib
export PATH=~/kde3.4-beta2/bin:$PATH

Setting KDEHOME too, e.g. "export KDEHOME=~/.kdetest", will tell KDE to save
your settings to this directory and leave default ~/.kde directory unaffected.

On shadow password systems you have to set $(prefix)/bin/kcheckpass SUID root
or SGID shadow - otherwise you will not be able to unlock a locked desktop.

The complete KDE desktop is started with "startkde", most distributions start
it if you set it to the WINDOWMANAGER variable in your shell initializations.

Thats alright I got it after a little bit. I don't know if anyone else needs the help. if you do just let me know.. I tell you what worked for me..

as far as performance it seems to be running pretty well other than for the transparency stuff. it slows it down..

well its just a test drive and it looks good so far.
