This is highly annoying for the user.

How can I tell kdm to start plasma-desktop with

	ulimit -c unlimited

to get a core dump for investigation, if this happens again?

Have you tried this on a new user (with empty ~)?

You mean I have to ask the user to erase everything in
$HOME to make sure that plasma-desktop doesn't die?

Sorry, but this doesn't answer the question. How can
I set ulimit -c unlimited before plasma-desktop is
run to make sure that there is a core dump for
investigation?

You could restart plasma-desktop manually on a shell

kquitapp plasma-desktop
ulimit -c unlimited
plasma-desktop

Has the additional advantage that you could redirect its text output to
file(s).

Cheers,

This way we could see what was causing the problem, is it user specific
setting or something else.
