No, I have only following:
.config/Trolltech.conf

All the while I was running startkde under root.

Now I ran startkde as a test user. The plasma-desktop still crashes but 
system status is very different.

When I was under root, the system load goes up to 2.5 and the interrupt 
CPU state goes to 85%. But as a normal user, the system load is 0.12 and 
interrupt CPU state is around 33%, though it is still very high.

Under root, its only plasma-desktop crashes, but under the normal user, 
I have plasma-desktop.core and plasma-to-plasma-de.core.

Under both root and normal user, when this crash happens no user can 
login via ssh.

Regards
Sagara
