short of writing that in /etc/envrionment (which is a bit spooky) I don't
really see another option to handle this automatically :/

tmp is cleaned regardless of the fstype, also apps should not store any

kdecache holds *all* pixmap caches + sycoca + http cache. of course only
the former two will have an impact on login speed but that impact should be
noticable as we are talking about ~85MiB plasma caches (theme + wallpapers)
