Every addition to startkde makes KDE startup a tiny bit slower.

I would much rather see lnusertmp code doing a mkdir on the parent dir when necessary.
It's its job, and this way it could be done only when necessary (i.e. if the stuff that lnusertemp
creates doesn't exist yet).

Something like this (untested).
