Take a look in /etc/env.d.  You should have both a 46kdepaths-3.4 and
45kdepaths-3.5.  If so, then running 'env-update' and logging back in
should be all you need to get the paths used.  The lowest numbered
files here have precedence.

BTW, as you have discovered you still have KDE 3.4 hanging around (KDE
major versions are slotted).  If you decide later to get rid of the
old versions, you should be able to do it with something like:

cd /var/db/pkg
for pkg in kde-base/*-3.4*; do
    emerge --unmerge $pkg
done

Then to find straggler packages:

find /usr/kde/3.4 -type f | head -n 1
equery belongs <file from above command>
emerge --unmerge <pkg from above equery>
<lather, rinse, repeat>

Don't do any of this until you are happy with 3.5 though.
