It's just a lot of work to go through each and every configuration dialog to 
clear things out. If there's a central place where you can save your privacy
preferences, you can easily clean everything with a single click whenever you
want. The cache directory can't store things such as completion or command 
history, which should be easy to clear for all of KDE, too. It looks like 
most of this stuff is currently stored in the k*rc files.
