A KDE3 session runs parallel to my KDE4 one [ALMOST SOLVED]

In the process of installing Quanta (KDE3), I appended '/opt/kde' to my $KDEDIRS global variable so I could have Quanta's .desktop entry in my menu ... but this has created an annoying side effect: a KDE3 session begins alongside my KDE4 one.  As I write this, I have both KDE3 and -4 panels along the bottom of my screen, and pressing <Alt><F2> runs KDE3's application launcher instead of KRunner (it's been so long since I used KDE3, I don't remember what the thing is called).

Does anybody have a solution in which I may have both KDE4 and -3 .desktop entries in my application menu, without running parallel sessions?

Well, I sorta' solved the problem -- by removing '/opt/kde' from $KDEDIRS, and symlinking '/opt/kde/share/applications' to '/usr/share/applications/kde3', the applications were registered in my menu, and KDE3 was prevented from running alongside KDE4.  However, their icons do not display since the .desktop files only give the names of the icons, excluding the paths ... does anybody know where KDE keeps its icon cache config (so I can tweak it to cache my KDE3 icons too)?
