There's an issue with KDE 4 stuff: a number of special directories,
accessed through symlinks in ~/Library/Preferences/KDE/, need to be
precreated before any KDE application will work. Note also that the
symlink paths will change if the hostname does (important if you're
using a laptop). Possibly kdeinit4 is supposed to do this
automatically, but it doesn't.
