I mentioned in the original question that a newly created user worked
fine. As that is the case, I guess they could delete the current .kde4
directory and the various caches in the current user and let them be
recreated. That would be pretty much what they would get with a new user
anyway. But that is a last ditch effort.

I think they are trying to preserve their KDE config. The problem has
occurred in a measurement vehicle out on some highway system. The
measurement crew are not trained in user recovery. Explaining how to
configure KDE over the mobile is possible, but not something they want
to do if it can be avoided.

We have on our to-do list making a script that configures a user's KDE
setup. This seems to be a rather poorly documented part of KDE, and so
we still must do this by hand on every install. Generally we can live
with that. But here is an example of when such customization would best
be scripted. The types of things we change are those that effect our use
of the system. Like disabling screen savers, power saving features,
system update nagging. 

Yours sincerely,
