Hm. Is it possible that my $KDEHOME (~/.kde) has gotten overloaded over
time and there are lots of config files that are read and parsed but no

I'm thinking of reconfiguring my desktop, i.e. deleting/moving ~/.kde.

I thought when it starts it puts all the stuff into some kind of system
cache and only saves that to disk when necessary.
