And the build doesn't handle this particular problem correctly, which 
a known problem, and has been known for years.

There are three directories under /tmp which need to have their 
permissions set correctly by the startup script:

/tmp/.ICE-unix
/tmp/.X11-unix
/tmp/.X11-pipe

/* kchmod.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>

static const char* unixPath = "/tmp/.X11-unix";
static const char* pipePath = "/tmp/.X11-pipe";
static const char* icePath = "/tmp/.ICE-unix";
static const char* fontPath = "/tmp/.font-unix";
extern int errno;

int
main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
    mode_t mode = 0;
    uid_t uid = 0;
    gid_t gid = 0;

    mode = (S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO | S_ISVTX);

    if (setuid (uid) != 0)
    {
      perror ("setuid"), strerror (errno);
      return -1;
    }
    if (mkdir (unixPath, mode) != 0)
    {
      if (EEXIST != errno)
      {
        perror("mkdir"), strerror(errno);
        return -2;
      }
    }
    if (chmod (unixPath, mode) != 0)
      perror ("chmod"), strerror (errno);

    if (chown (unixPath, uid, gid) != 0)
      perror ("chown"), strerror (errno);

    if (mkdir (pipePath, mode) != 0)
    {
      if (EEXIST != errno)
      {
        perror("mkdir"), strerror(errno);
        return -2;
      }
    }
    if (chmod (pipePath, mode) != 0)
      perror ("chmod"), strerror (errno);

    if (chown (pipePath, uid, gid) != 0)
      perror ("chown"), strerror (errno);

    if (mkdir (icePath, mode) != 0)
    {
      if (EEXIST != errno)
      {
        perror("mkdir"), strerror(errno);
        return -2;
      }
    }
    if (chmod (icePath, mode) != 0)
      perror ("chmod"), strerror (errno);

    if (chown (icePath, uid, gid) != 0)
      perror ("chown"), strerror (errno);

    if (mkdir (fontPath, mode) != 0)
    {
      if (EEXIST != errno)
      {
        perror("mkdir"), strerror(errno);
        return -2;
      }
    }
    if (chmod (fontPath, mode) != 0)
      perror ("chmod"), strerror (errno);

    if (chown (fontPath, uid, gid) != 0)
      perror ("chown"), strerror (errno);

    return 0;
}

// vim: ts=2 sw=2 et

/* kchmod.c */

Compile and install as ${KDE}/bin/kchmod, permissions 4755, owned 
root:root and run it directly from startkde, somewhere near the top 
before anything KDE-related starts happening.

Do not keep deleting these directories because that will not fix 
anything.
