This is for KDE (Kubuntu) Breezy.  I am running KDE 3.4.3, but it shouldn't 
matter.

What icon do you have directly to the right of the K menu?
No matter, from the K -->System Settings you should see a System 
Administration icon, and from there the Paths icon.

Can't remember if it works on earlier versions, but you can also get there by 
typing in Konqi's Location bar:
settings:/System/
and choose Paths.

I have ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals with this section:
[Paths]
Documents=$HOME/Documents

but using the settings:/ menu is a lot easier.
