In that case you won't have the various bits under ~/.local - the rest deals 
with all the pre-akonadi stuff, whether kde3 or 4.  I assume you understood 
when I wronte .kde(4) that you might be looking at either, depending on your 
distro?  In your case it will simply be .kde, then.

Good luck, and ask again if you have more questions.
