Can't remember if you have moved or deleted your ~/.kde directory and deleted
everything in /tmp related to this particular login ID and then rebooted.
That would clear out any weird settings left over from whatever. By
un/re-installing KDE you won't get a clean ~/.kde so any possible bad or
wrong settings are retained.
Did you create a new user ID and does it have the same problems?
