That "delete or disable ALL your settings" "advice" is indeed not
very
helpful.
While not helpful in the context of this thread, where a problem is
intractable I recommend re-naming ~/.kde - which allows you to cherry-pick
settings until you are happy or have found the culprit.

http://userbase.kde.org/ is a good place to share such information.
It also helps when you can't remember what you did last time you met a
situation - and as you get older, that happens more and more.
For anyone that thinks writing on UserBase is yet another thing to learn, my
blog of yesterday,
http://lydgate.org/blogs/?p=271 might give you
encouragement. We're trying our hardest to make it as pain-free as possible,
so for minimum effort you can help a lot of readers.
