When I was using Fluxbox, it would frequently NOT want to load/run KDE applications at times. I tracked it down to the same file. As it turned out, the ownership was being changed to root:root instead of me:me.. SOOOO... I just put a little script in my fluxbox startup that checked the ownership of the file and if it wasn't me then sudo chown me:me the.file .... As far as I know, that process never caused any problems for me...
