I'm now using the same ~/.kde created at the end of the year 2000 for 
KDE 2.something on the 5th or 6th computer and I've never run into 
problems (except for a very few minor ones). Apparently, your milage 
does vary. For me it would be way too much pain trying to get a list of 
all the files I need to copy. Simply copying all of ~/.kde (in fact 
I've always copied all of ~) is dead easy and I never had to worry 
about having forgotten some important files. Of course, that's just my 
opinion and my experience.

I suggest to search the archive of this mailing list because your 
question has already been answered approx. a thousand times. :-)
