[solved]kded crashed

This afternoon I dragged some plasmoid then the kde crashed and I could not start it any more.
startx get errors as below:

Current version of pixman: 0.18.4

waiting for X server to shut down

I can start the Xorg server normally so I suspected it was caused by the broken config files of kde in my home directory. So I backed up the .kde4 directory and delete it but no effect.
I create a new account and I can start the kde both with the default configuration and the backed up one normally.
Then I change the home directory of the previous account to a new one with nothing in it, the problem remains the same!
It's rather weird and I searched all over the internet but only got one post similar to my situation:

Could you give me some advice? I really don't want to migrate to a new account due to such a stupid problem.Thx!

-----------------updated--------------------
I deleted my original account with problem then create an account with same name and uid. To my astonishment, the problem is solved.

Re: [solved]kded crashed

you should check also ~/.local(/share) and ~/.config too for config files.

I've tested it with a totally new and clean home directory but no difference.
