I removed the ~/.kde directory and tried to log in using KDE 4.1 (SVN=20
yesterday). It showed the error message "Could not start kstartupconfig4.=20
Check your installation." before aborting the login. The error code being=20
returned by kstartupconfig4 was 3. Repeating the login attempt resulted in=
=20
the same error.

By my reading of the code, kdostartupconfig.cpp calls

    KStandardDirs::locateLocal( "config", "startupconfigkeys" );

and then tries to open the resultant file name in read-only mode - hence th=
e=20
error. When you start with an empty ~/.kde, that file won't exist, so AFAIC=
S=20
kstartupconfig4 will inevitably return the error code 3. (The directory=20
~/.kde/share/config was created with correct user permissions, presumably b=
y=20
that call, so there's no problem with write access.)
