in that users home directory, you should have a hidden file (got a "." in fornt) called ".kderc" as I recall (and this is from memeory) this file can be removed (in a text console, Su to root, type cd "/home/username" (where username is the name of the user with the problem, "ls -all" without the quotes, and then if the file is there, "rm .kderc" you should be able to then restart x or login as that user and the kderc file will be "regenerated".
