[kde-linux] /tmp/dbprof prevents login

[David Jarvie]

I am trying to set up a second user on my system (Debian Etch, running KDE 
3.5.2, but using the default Etch version of kdm). I find that when using kdm 
to log in to KDE, only the first user to log in actually succeeds. When 
another user subsequently tries to log in, KDE startup fails because of 
permissions on the file /tmp/dbprof. This file by that time already exists 
and is owned by the first user to log in, and is therefore not writable.

Any ideas on what is the best way of dealing with this? What 
creates /tmp/dbprof? I can't find any mention of it on Google.
