It must  contain the following patch:

I'm no fedora user so I do not know what security they set-up. Usually the 
user test should be able to write to that file.

So it works?

If it works you can try the following. With your original user.

Quit digikam and move all digikam related files from ~/.kde/share/config to 
some other place. This means that digikam starts with a new config, so you 
will have to point it to your pictures and database file.

Try to start digikam. If it works, the issue is in the files you moved. If 
not, you have to do the same with digikam files in ~/.kde/share/apps and the 
database.

I'm not sure there are more files related to digikam that could cause the 
issue in case it still does not start with your original user but with the 
test user.

If you have isolated the file that caused the crash you can start to 
investigate which part of it did, e.g. by comparing it to the new file 
generated by digikam and replacing each section after closing digikam and 
restarting digikam, until you hit the one that makes digikam crash.
