Actually there is no config in the cache.

It won't. However, as far as I can tell, people here are discussing removing 
config and cache by deleting the database that contains both.

Of course going to a level which contains both configuration and data, 
deleting at that level will result in deleting of both. Like deleting $KDEHOME 
will remove config and data, thus being strongly adviced against by 
experienced user supporters but unfortunately brought up regularily by less 
experienced people.

Right. This is already the case. I checked the cache and it does only contains 
cached data and references to the item the data is cached for.

I am using standard Debian packages, so I would be surprised if this was a 
case of distribution differentiation.

Cheers,
Kevin
