The configuration files are all in ~/.kde/share/config.  It's fairly 
obvious from the names of the files which ones you'll want to copy. If 
in doubt, sometimes reading the file will disclose enough information 
to confirm the application that it belongs to. (For PIM, you'll also 
probably want ~/.kde/share/config/kresources/)
