Whatever, I would advise anyone upgrading to kde 4X to start with a brand shiney new ~/.kde directory.<br>

I probably was frying installs and jumping distros regularly so it wouldn't have mattered, but I have been traveling through new installs with my home directory all through kde 3 and retained contents and settings the whole time.<br>

Then if I want something like my old bookmarks I just copy them into the new ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror directory.<br>
