it's not really wrong - KDE_PREFIX is set but not exported by lunar. This means that some modules reinitialize their shell and will not find the proper prefix for qt, libkde3 etc.

the best way to fix is still to pass the proper flags in BUILD, not to assume that the user environment is set. This will only lead to confusion and misasumption. Just pass the flags in BUILD properly will work every time, even when the user screws up.
