           Summary: kde-4.5.4 loads kde3 kicker and background (even with
                    ~/.kde & ~/.kde4 removed)
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.5
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: drankinatty at suddenlinkmail.com


Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

    I launched kde4 and my kde3 kicker and the kde4 plasma panel are both
present:

    So I moved ~/.kde4 figuring it was the problem and launched kde4 again.
Still it pulled in my kde3 kicker and background. Huh?

    So I moved both ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 to make sure there was nothing kde (3 or
4) related in my home directory and I launched kde4 again. To my surprise, kde4
loaded it's plasma panel and then proceeded to load the default kdemod3 kicker
and kdemod3 background?? See:

    Obviously something is very wrong here. kde4 should not be loading the
kdemod3 kicker or background. Looking at the newly created ~/.kde4/share/config
files, the kickerrc file contains the following:

15:42 providence:~> cat .kde4/share/config/kickerrc
[$Version]
update_info=kickerrc.upd:kde_3_1_sizeChanges,kickerrc.upd:kde_3_4_reverseLayout,kickerrc.upd:kde_3_5_kconfigXTize

    Double-huh? Why would kde-4.5.4 create a kickerrc containing kde3 entries?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Have both kde3 and kde4 installed. (using kde4 kdm as display manager)
Clean home directory of both ~/.kde and ~/.kde4
Launch kde4 to force defaults to be applied

Actual Results:  
kde3 kicker and kde4 plasma panel are both loaded. Default kde3 wallpaper is
used for the kde4 background.
Context menus and decorations appear to be kde3 default.
Plasma panel is properly styled with kde4 theme.

Expected Results:  
Just a default kde4 panel and theme.
