Something else.

Note: this is a really ugly hack.
You most likely do not want to make this part of the official live-config :)

But it did help me and i wanted to share it with someone.

I agree with this advice... this looks wrong. If the problem is important
enough, it should be fixed in KDE. Or KDE should offer a setting so that
we can disable caching alltogether.

But this hack is not suitable for live-config.
