Well, each user has a kde configuration file in his or her home directory. Why not remove that and then see if the flakiness goes away. Of course, I would just mv it, but that's your decision. On my system, there is a directory, .kde and a file, .kderc. I would try mv'ing them, while she is logged out, and then have her log back on.
