I use Kubuntu, so /var/tmp is universal rwx and there is a kde-root and
kde-username for each user. Each dir/file in kde-user is owned by the
respective user. The files ksycoca and ksycocastamp have both been modified
on start-up today. Perhaps renaming these and logging in/out may solve
things, but I dont know enough to guarantee results.

FWIW, I tweak my menus by editing the prg.desktop file as root and
adding/deleting the line NoDisplay=true/false to hide/show a menu item.
Obviously this is system wide so it may not suit your needs.
Sorry can't be more help.
