Relocating KDE Cache

KDE LogoWell, after so long, finally I have found a solution for my old problem. The problem is very simple, but can be very frustated because it could effected system performance globally. Maybe some of you has been noticed that KDE will make some temporary directory for cache, socket, and the temporary files. If you list your ${HOME}/.kde/ you will find those three temporary directory:

$ ls -lh ${HOME}/.kde/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 walecha users 23 Peb 19 21:37 Autostart
lrwxrwxrwx 1 walecha users 37 Mar  1 09:13 cache-c435 -> /var/tmp/kdecache-walecha
drwxr-xr-x 2 walecha users 60 Sep  1 16:38 env
drwxr-xr-x 8 walecha users 90 Mar  1 09:09 share
drwxr-xr-x 2 walecha users 62 Nov  6 17:44 shutdown
lrwxrwxrwx 1 walecha users 20 Mar  1 09:13 socket-c435 -> /tmp/ksocket-walecha
lrwxrwxrwx 1 walecha users 16 Mar  1 09:13 tmp-c435 -> /tmp/kde-walecha

Because of my partitioning layout, I have four linux partitions which is:

Number  Size       Code  Name
   1    252.0 MiB   8300  Linux filesystem => /boot
   2    20.8 GiB    8300  Linux filesystem => /
   3    4.0 GiB     8200  Linux swap
   4    2.0 MiB     EF02  
   5    413.2 GiB   8300  Linux filesystem => /home

As you see, the /var/tmp/kdecache-walecha directory will occupied the / (ROOT) partition. As the KDE temporary files grows, my ROOT partition will get the impact. So why not relocating kdecache directory to user's home directory since I have plenty of space available at /home?
