Hey Anne, 

I installed GNU Debian Squeeze anew after having saved all the configuration files 
for KDE apps on an USB stick. Well, I replaced the "new" files in my my home 
partition with the backups and it worked barely at all. Only the text editor 
Kate had all the previous settings restored immediately. Kmail only recognized 
the account settings for receiving messages, all other things like sending, 
layout, shortcuts, toolbar and address books had the configured manually. Other 
programs like Akregator, Basket or Okular did not recognize any of the saved 
settings. Maybe I understood the How-to on KDE User Base wrong....
