This is http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/unassigned-bugs/2010-December/016850.html from almost two years ago. The tunable had been on the feature removal schedule for two years and would have emitted a warning if you had run on any kernel during that time. KDE 4.6.1 and later from two years ago work fine.

Fixed in udev v162 at the same time kde was.
