  Could this be related to some setting in ~/.config? I ask, because basket
notepads (fantastic info collection app) is loaded in both k3 and k4 from
~/.config/autostart. Could loading basket notepads be what forces the load of
some kde3 runtime which in turn pulls in the kicker panel, background and
decorations? Since I have deleted both ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 and still get the
kde3 kicker, background and decor in kde4, there has got to be a common-thread
somewhere, but where?

  Let me also correct earlier statements limiting this problem to i686
packages. I have this problem on both i686 and x86_64 boxes. I 'think' it may
also be compiz related. Specifically, if you have ever used 'kwin --replace' to
drop from compiz back to kwin, I think a default setting gets set for the
default wm. When you then launch k4, k4 loads, but then pulls in the k3
settings based on the default set by using 'kwin --replace'. Plausible? If so,
what to check?

  However, I think the issue being in ~/.config may be right on point. I have
completely removed ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 and still get the kde3 elements pulled
into kde4. I have pulled my hair out trying to find the common-thread, but
until now I have completely overlooked ~/.config. 

  I would appreciate any thoughts the kde-devs may have. Like I said, I'm more
than happy to test and hunt for why this is happening. But it would really help
to get some pointers on where to look. Thanks.
