Backtrace that shows where these files are created from

Sune Vuorela had a look at the code and told me to run kdm_greet in gdb and
break at KStandardDirs::KStandardDirsPrivate::createSpecialResource. According
to him, this is the point where those links are created and the backtrace I
have generated shows what code path is followed to create them. I attach this
here for reference. From our judgement, it looks complicated to solve this
issue and we are probably going to patch our kdm init script in debian to set
KDEROOTHOME to point somewhere in /var. However, I believe that this is
something that should be fixed in kde in the longer term. Those links are not
used at all by kdm, so they should not be created.
