This is a bug in kdebase. The kdm login program thinks it's home dir is
/ so it is trying to create /.kde in the root directory. There are bugs
files on this. Not being able to create this directory does not seem to
bother the login app, so I think it is deep down in the libraries.
I can change SELinux to cover this up but I would rather put pression on
kde maintainers to fix there code.
