Why SuSE7.1 creates .kde and .kde2 in /

Hello SuSE folks, Is this a feature or a bug? Why SuSE7.1 creates .kde and .kde2 directories in / ? When I deleted them they have been recreated again. Content of .kde directory is the same as /tmp/ksocket-root Why it needs to be duplicated in /.kde directory? Content of .kde2 is a bunch of empty directories. Why do I need them if I already have /root/.kde2 directory with all configuration files? Please somebody give me clarification on this issue. Lenz, may be you can help? Thank you in advance.
