>Description:
Did a recent 'portupgrade -N kde' while su'ed to root, deselected the development items (probably not pertinent to problem), and after the install is finished, I have some files in my home directory that qt and kde installations created as root.  The main problems with this:

- Hands off my homedir!
- Since the files are owned by root and not writable, KDE will/may not start, and root + knowledge is required to correct this.  

On the most recent install I performed:

find . ! -user mcdouga9
./.qt
./.kde
./.kde/share
./.kde/share/config

>How-To-Repeat:
Start with a fresh homedirectory on a system without qt or kde.
su root
portupgrade -N kde
find . ! -user yourself
