At one time I had submitted code to attempt a profile directory migration from within in
startkde.
Here is the snippet. Probably needs some more error checking!
==================================
if [ -n "$KDEHOME" ]; then
echo "[startkde] KDEHOME is preset to $KDEHOME." 1>&2
export KDEHOME=$KDEHOME
else
# $KDEHOME is NOT already preset in the environment. Try to help.
# This might be overkill but does provide flexibility.
echo "[startkde] KDEHOME is not set." 1>&2
# This script and kstandardirs.h and kstandardirs.cpp must match.
# The latter two must be edited/patched before compiling.
export KDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity
echo "[startkde] Set KDEHOME to $KDEHOME." 1>&2
# This is a feeble attempt to migrate a KDE3 profile to Trinity. If $HOME/.trinity
exists
# then skip this one-time migration section.
if [ ! -d $HOME/.trinity ]; then
if [ -d $HOME/.kde3 ]; then
# If $HOME/.kde3 exists, probably safe to presume a profile from KDE3 or a previous
Trinity.
# Go ahead and migrate that profile.
cp -a $HOME/.kde3 $HOME/.trinity
elif [ -d $HOME/.kde ]; then
# This is tricky --- ensure this profile directory is NOT KDE4.
if [ ! -f $HOME/.kde/share/config/nepomukstrigirc ] && [ ! -f
$HOME/.kde/share/config/phonondevicerc ] && [ ! -f
$HOME/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktoprc ]; then
# That was three different tests. Probably not a KDE4 profile. There is a chance
# the user's KDE3 profile got contaminated testing KDE4. If that is the case
then
# too bad. The safe route is not to migrate. Otherwise if this 3-point test
passes
# then migrate the profile.
cp -a $HOME/.kde $HOME/.trinity
# Let's remove any KDE3 "contamination."
rm -fr ~/.trinity/cache-*
rm -fr ~/.trinity/socket-*
rm -fr ~/.trinity/tmp-*
# Need to fix the following lines with the correct path for the old KDE profile
directory!
find ~/.trinity -path ~/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail -prune -o -type f -exec sed
-i 's|/\.kde3|/\.trinity|g' {} \;
find ~/.trinity -path ~/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail -prune -o -type f -exec sed
-i 's|/opt/kde3/|/opt/trinity/|g' {} \;
find ~/.trinity -path ~/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail -prune -o -type f -exec sed
-i 's|/usr/share/|/opt/trinity/share/|g' {} \;
# Need to fix certain config files! The previous find command should fix such
config files.
# kpatrc (KPatience); change /usr/share to $PREFIX/share
# Back=/usr/share/apps/carddecks/decks/deck2.png
# Cards=/usr/share/apps/carddecks/cards-default/
# Need a way to update sym links in ~/.trinity/Autostart!
# etc.!

==================================
In this post I added the cleanup commands I posted earlier and comments for additional
migration support. This snippet needs more work and is posted only as a starter.
