Thank you ;-).

Hmm... given that we can't know what $KDEHOME for KDE3 is, that, as you 
say, is the hard part.

Given what Import does, I'm not sure where, or if, such a UI element 
should be placed. This sounds somewhat more like fodder for 
documentation (userbase.kde.org?). Would that be sufficient?

(In fact, you don't want to import from 
$KDEHOME/share/apps/color-schemes, unless it is the $KDEHOME of another 
user/machine. Stuff there is already loaded :-).)

/me makes mental note to add file types, not sure why we don't have that 
already...

Out of curiosity, what happens if you try to import the kdeglobals from 
your KDE3 $KDEHOME?
