And > i'm sure that this will happens with kde 5.x too.-) I agree and disagree. The ~.kde has been amazingly stable for me as far as kde3.x series has gone. My home dir has gone from mandrake 8 to slackware12 over the years and across the distro. Not a problem, not a single setting lost. With KDE4.1, it is ~/.kde4, and as pointed out in another mail by DR, it is incompatible. (Which is ok. The base desktop is not finished, I wouldn't expect a migration utility to up before that). Worse is both ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 are used. I kept ~/.kde for importing stuff as-and-when required and deleted it after few days. Log back in and my kmail config is empty. Just wow.. -- Shridhar
