 - you want /tmp to be:
  drwxrwxrwt 80 root root [...] /tmp
If necessary, do:
  chmod 1777 /tmp       # NB the '1'  .

 - a quick follow-up googling indicates folks think they solved it by one or 
more 
of:
----
* /dev/null &/or /etc/passwd somehow ended up with wrong permissions. Should be:
  crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 [...] /dev/null
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root [...] /etc/passwd

* homedir .kde4 dir somehow ended up with wrong permissions or otherwise messed 
up.
  Crude solution:
    mv -i ~/.kde4 ~/.kde4.BKUP-00
    Then start kde.
  Less-crude:
    cp -iax ~/.kde4 ~/.kde4.BKUP-01 ; chown -R your_username: ~/.kde4  # NB the 
':'  
    Then start kde.

* folks getting program installations messed-up, etc, etc. Try the above stuff 
first.
