OK, this shows that it can open and somehow read the file. That's what I see 
in the trace log as well. Can you repeat the process with the following 
modification:

  strace -e trace=open,close,read -s 64 -o open.txt -p PID

Again, gzip the output file before sending.

I expect the problem to happen during reads. So let's see what the new trace 
shows.

Yep, that does not matter.

That looks OK. KDE saves all the configuration settings.
