Sounds rather b*ggered I'm afraid. You could as an experiment copy roots .kde folder i.e. log out as root, log in to a virtual terminal, and in the /root folder enter: cp -pr .kde .kde_bak
What does that command do? I'm still quite new to linux...¨Laurent
It copies the directory recursively (i.e. everything under it) and preserves permissions and timestamps.
Go back to KDE and log back in as root and see if that cures the problem, though ideally you shouldn't log into KDE as root. If this works you could selectively copy back configs from the backup.
