Hello Rex,
Now "which k3b" returns the variable 
"/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin/k3b"  This is EXACTLY what I wanted to 
see there...  The problem is that when I start that k3b, which is now in my 
PATH, the plugins are not detected.  Translation: I get an error window 
about needing to convert my MP3's to WAV files before I can burn them to an 
Audio CD.

I did put this in the "/home/steve/.kde/env/customenv.sh" file.  Is that 
correct?  Here is the current contents of that file:
export KDEDIR=/usr
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR

PATH=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328/kde/bin:$PATH
export PATH

When I had this working a few days ago, all that I had in my customenv.sh 
file was:
export KDEDIR=/usr
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local/spu/spu-20100328:$KDEDIR

(Of course the path reflected in the "KDEDIRS" line was different.)

The point is, with the above quoted two lines in customenv.sh, and without 
adding anything to my PATH, I could just run "k3b" from a terminal, the 
correct version would run, and the plugins would be detected as desired.  
Should that have worked? Perhaps not.  But, nonetheless, it did work for 
about a week...

Thank you very much for your attention to my problem :)
