Not good, at least not with kde3. I use to symlink the version,
like .kde-3.5.6 --> .kde/ so I could do backups by version before upgrading.
when I ditched the idea someday because.. I reinstalled or so I didn't create
the symlink and nothing worked. grepping thru the dir quickly produced that
the symlink name was put it everywhere where ".kde/" should have been.
Cleaning this mess up took me a full day.
apart from that I love the idea of having ~/.etc in general. This seriously
should be a standard, it's way better than tons of ~/.<appname> dirs.
