I think this is not a duplicate of bug 53845.

A regular KDE application needs to set up a complex runtime environment.
For instance in bug 53845 we see that a simple text editor needs to
start kdeinit, kded, knotify, kio_uiserver and maybe others. All these
expect a fully set up environment and likely write state information in
~/.kde thus forcing its creation at some point.

However kde-config does not fork and exec any of these servers. Also a
look at an strace shows no justification for creating ~/.kde. So it
should be possible to fix kde-config to not create ~/.kde completely
independently from whether 'sudo kate' can be made to behave sensibly or
not.
