Thank you for investigating it. /opt/kde-3.5.5 looks like a global config. 
It can be obtained by "kde-config --expandvars --install config". It can 
be different across distros. What happens when you create KDE profiles? 
Here is a simple procedure (as root) :
----
userid=bish
prof=testprof

alias profreg='kwriteconfig --file system.kdeglobals --group Directories'
alias mapreg='kwriteconfig --file /etc/kde-profiles/MAP'
profreg --key userProfileMapFile /etc/kde-profiles/MAP
profreg --key profileDirsPrefix /etc/kde-profiles
mapreg --group "Users" --key $userid $prof
mkdir -p /etc/kde-profiles/$prof/share/config
su -c "kde-config --path config" $userid
----
