Delete that file, it will be re-created as necessary, but with correct 
permissions. In fact, it might help a lot to start at runlevel 1 and empty 
/tmp completely.

Not good, implies bits missing from KDE. Try renaming the ~/.kde directory to 
something else (mv .kde .kde-mdk8.0), exit and login again. KDE will 
re-create the directory.

If this fixes your ills, you may want to try copying bits and pieces (KMail 
address book etc) across from your `old' .kde directory tree into the new one 
to restore that information. If you dupe the new directory (cp -a .kde 
.kde-undo) before you try moving each new item or collection across, that 
gives you the ability to unwind a change if it breaks things.

Likely to be connected with the above. KDE doesn't yet upgrade very smoothly. 
I understand that 3.1 will be more tolerant of opsolete configuration data.
