  thb> Are you using KMyMoney 1.0.x or KMyMoney 4.x.y?

v1.0.4

  thb> In the former case, the command would be 'kde-config' instead of
  thb> 'kde4-config'.

Correct.  I tried 'kde-config' instead, and the correct path was output.
Sorry for not including the version of KMM I'm using in any of my emails.

  >> Is there any way to "pre-load" my many "payees" as well?

  thb> Simply copy the whole <PAYEES> block from the older XML file into the newer 
  thb> one using the editor of your choice. That should do it. Make sure no payee 
  thb> exists in the newer file.

Great!  I'll try that ...

With all of those entries now also being included, it looks like the
only remaining things I need to enter "by hand" are the actual accounts
and their initial balances.  Nice.

  thb> Thank you very much.

You are welcome!  You and the entire KMM "team" deserve it ... ;-)

  thb> I might have to quote you on this one :)

Please feel free to so do.
