Look for KDE related directories under /tmp and /var/tmp.

$ ls -l /tmp/kde-lufthanspE7xzr/*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lufthans lufthans 40 2004-12-27 23:12
/tmp/kde-lufthanspE7xzr/ksycoca ->
/var/tmp/kdecache-lufthansrqSqZt/ksycoca

Login to a terminal console while not logged in via X and remove those
dirs.

<ctrl>-<alt>-<f1> to get to a console from X. <alt>-<f7> to get back to X.
