/usr/share/applications/kde/kpdf.desktop file contains:
Exec=kpdf %U %i %m -caption "%c"

I'm not sure this is relevant, but I too have a file
/home/frederik/.kde/share/applnk/.hidden/kpdf.desktop which only has
Excec=kpdf

Maybe I should also add that the problem only seems to appear when KPDF is 
being run as a kpart integrated viewer in Konqueror. When the file is 
opened in an externally launched kpdf, it seems to work fine (IIRC, when 
opened in the integrated viewer the file is saved in ~/tmp, while it is 
downloaded in /var/tmp/kdecache-frederik if opened in an externally 
launched kpdf)

Thanks, I'll try to recompile kdelibs and kdebase soon, and I'll let you 
know.

Also note that the problem only happens when extended attributes are 
enabled on the file system. Otherwise, Beagle will fall back to an sqlite 
database, and the problem will not happen.
