And also... just /setting/ the var likely won't do it. You will likely
have to /export/ the var (which may have been done, but the post said
set, without specifying export, so...).

XDG_CACHE_HOME is respected only by qt5/kf5 applications and libraries.
kde4 runtime libraries still works the same as before (so you may want to
set both KDEVARTMP and XDG_CACHE_HOME to achieve what you want).

You might have a mix of Qt4 based and Qt5 based KDE programs and one of the
Qt4 based ones creates the dir according to the variable of that stack.

Oops. Yes, it does, Surprised, because I read here
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356850 that KDEVARTMP does not change
the location of the kdecache directory anymore. So, I did not even try
before now.

Unfortunately, no. I logged out, deleted /var/tmp/kdecache-${USER}, set
XDG_CACHE_HOME in /usr/bin/startkde and logged in again - a new
/var/tmp/kdecache-${HOME} had been created.
