   Creating a new user is far easier than install again.   
      
   An alternative is to delete all the plasma config directories, but as I   
   don't use plasma I'm unsure which they are.   
      
   Also reinstalling might not work on openSUSE, because /home is a   
   separate partition and normally not re-formatted on install.   
      
      
   On other desktops, recreating the missing file might repair the issue,   
   but with plasma I wouldn't know.   
      
   A possibility is creating a new user, login using plasma, log out, then   
   compare (probably in text mode) the created directories and files, then   
   copy the structure over to the old user (using 'mc').
