I agree with Don, but want to add just one thing. I advise to use 'midnight
commander' to rename  the ~/.kde directory to ~/.kdeold - simply in order to
avoid mistakes - it is a bit tricky anyway. Also my KDE panel got messed up
a bit after upgrading from Hardy to Jaunty. But after renaming and
rebooting, everything was fine again.

Respectfully yours,

Bas.
