If you're running KDE as root, then yes, since KDE will create a .kde file
in user's home directory (for root, it's /) to store user preferences and
whatnot.  You really shouldn't be using the root account as your day-to-day
account.  Create a normal user account for youself and use it instead of the
root account.  Normal user accounts are in /usr/home, so your .kde directory
won't eat up space on /.
