It breaks mutt, relatime was invented to fix the mutt issue. A lot of netbooks
and machines with only SSDs use noatime now, if noatime broke anything serious
at any point, those issues will have been solved by now, SSDs have been out
for some time and they need noatime.
Also possibly if you don't like the mount flags:
chattr -R +A /var/tmp
Also add
chattr -R +A $KDEHOME
The later is good for the config files.
