I've tested this here, and it does seem to fix some weird KDE issues on 
my test system. I'd been having problems with KDE needing to be 
restarted every few hours, because apps would fail to open / open 
slowly, or even the keyboard "locking" up on me. So far those things 
haven't occurred again with this on my system. I'll keep playing with 
it, I've only been using this file for a day or so, and it may just be 
luck why I've not run into the old problems again.
