Well none of these can be read by KDE 3 apps, but if we suffix the dir instead 
of the file then in theory users can copy over their old conf files.  
Besides, don't we already default $KDEHOME to $HOME/.kde3 anyways?

Then again, if we expect the configuration files to also change drastically 
(and why shouldn't we. ;), then that may do more harm than good.
