I would start by taking a close look at this file:
~/.kde/share/config/medianotifierrc
In the backup of my old ~/.kde folder, this file only has one section
called "[Auto Actions]"; it contains 8 lines for different media types,
which all list "#NothinAction", e.g.:
media/removable_mounted=#NothinAction
media/removable_unmounted=#NothinAction
I looked in here and found pretty much what you thought that I would.
Here's the content of that file:
[Auto Actions]
media/audiocd=#Service:/usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/audiocd_play.desktop
media/cdwriter_unmounted=#OpenAction
media/removable_mounted=#OpenAction
media/removable_unmounted=#OpenAction
No surprises there, really.
Only if "#OpenAction" for the unmounted devices is defined correctly so
that they get mounted.
AFAIK, the user customizations for the file associations are saved here:
~/.kde/share/config/profilerc
You should check if this file contains any references to "ooo-*.desktop"
or "media/*".
Did that and viola, this entry was found, near the end of the file:
[media/removable_unmounted - 2]
AllowAsDefault=true
Application=ooo-writer.desktop
GenericServiceType=Application
Preference=2
ServiceType=media/removable_unmounted
[...]
If either file looks corrupted then it might be easiest to move it out
of the way and let KDE recreate it from a good template at the next
start. (Keep the "bad" file around so that you can restore it if
necessary.) Comparing medianotifierrc and profilerc of the two users may
help to get a clue where things go wrong.
I am unable to do so unfortunately. Even though I created a basic user
account to test this issue out under a vanilla KDE environment, KDE does
not seem to have created those files for the "test" account.
Going back to the above, I have included the entire profilerc file
including the original ooo-writer.desktop entry. This is just to ensure
that I haven't missed anything out that may have been earlier, but
AFAICT this was the one and only ooo entry.
[ snip: That file seems to be a mess full of redundant entries for
media/* service types. ]
I would remove both files and try again. (The new account seems to do
fine without them, after all.)
