I now know what the problem is. The current kde4 build will create a:

/var/tmp/kdecache-<user>/ksyscoca
and
/var/tmp/kdecache-<user>/ksyscoca4

if kde3 is left installed on the system. This is a bug. kde4 shouldn't generate
a 'k'de 'sys'tem 'co'nfiguration 'ca'che for kde3 -- period. Removing kde3 does
indeed solve the problem, but I notice no requirement to do so on the wiki. Do
we want to drop a note there?
