Below is a new suggestion based on your feedback. I have also added a
new KDE PIM/Akonadi section based on the FreeBSD recommendation.
OK?

+Resource limits
+===============
+
+The "default" login-class resource limits are too conservative for KDE Plasma
+users. It is recommended to use the login-class "kde" for all KDE Plasma
+users.
+
+Depending on the application and if KDE widgets or plasmashell (you will find a
+plasmashell.core in your $HOME) constantly crash, the value must be set
+correspondingly higher.
+
+You can easily change the login class with the following command:
+
+# usermod -L kde your-user-name
+
+Touch screen calibration
+========================
+xtsscale(1) can be used for touch screen calibration, however it will not
+work under kwin, as a workaround, you can kill kwin first, calibrate your
+screen, then launch kwin_x11 again.

+KDE PIM and Akonadi
+===================
+KDE PIM applications like Akonadi, KMail, and Kontact use large messages on the
+local machine. The default size on OpenBSD is too small, which causes local
+connection issues, and Akonadi-based applications will be flaky (e.g. mailboxes
