i've found the ~/.kde/share/config directory as a place where there are config files for kde to use.. i have kde-3.5.3 installed right now, and i've been doing a general system update (from 6.1-release to 6.3-release to 7.0-release, which is done), and have decided due to various reasons that i need to uninstall and reinstall all my ports. part of this will involve installing kde-3.5.8_1, and my problem is this: how can i save my kde settings (such as the panels and preferences)? i was thinking of backing up that config directory, but i don't want to break kde if the files have been changed between versions.. and the way some of the filenames in that dir seem to have computer-generated hashes at their ends, it seems that this may well happen if i simply copy the old (3.5.3) files into the same dir for 3.5.8_1.<br>
<br>if anyone could please tell me exactly which files i need to keep, and/or which files i can edit to provide the same settings, i would greatly appreciate it.. it's really the customized panels that i'm worried about most, but there are other things that i probably can't think of now that might need to be saved too.<br>
