One thing to also consider is if the two distributions use different user-
local directories for config and/or data.
Debian normally uses KDE's default, i.e. $HOME/.kde/, while some distributions 
use $HOME/.kde4/

In such cases directories and/or files might have to be copyied or renamed to 
be where the target's KDE version expects them to be, or changes need to be 
manually re-applied and data imported.

Cheers.
