 I just deleted them (and already tried exactly that multiple times). No cha=
 nge.

 Already tried, but it did not change anything.

 Perhaps because nobody except me uses KDE applications without the KDE logi=
 n?
 
 Okay, I found the problem:
 
 According to ktrace, it read in my OpenBox window manager configuration and
 menus... why that?  Looks like that's it. Renaming ~/.config to something e=
 lse
 -> KDE works, OpenBox doesn't.
 
 What should I put in ~/.config so that KDE works again?
 
 If it's not possible, could you put CONFLICTS=3Dopenbox to KDE (and/or the =
 other
 way round)? Is there a way to make KDE applications ignore ~/.config?

 Could not open passwd file -c for reading.
 Use -c option to create new one.
