--- Comment #2 from Chef Niko <culinaryelation at zohomail.com> ---
Thank you for the link to the existing documentation. Unfortunately it is quite
out of date, and no longer applicable.

Backing up the entirety of ~/.config will get most of the configuration
settings, though not quite all of them. However, that will also backup the
configuration setting for every application installed on the system (using the
~/.config folder), which is horribly inefficient. 

Backing up only the Plasma configuration allows the possibility of installing a
new (or re-installing) an operating system, then easily applying the desired
configuration, without having to spend time setting it up again.

It's really great that Plasma is so configurable, but it's not something I want
to do more than once. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I'm doing today.
