Tim, All,
I don't like the default ~/Documents folder, so on my installs I always set
'System Administration -> Paths' (Document Paths:) to just /home/david.
I've
done that in tde, but then with every app I open (kate, kwrite, etc..) when I
select 'open' it defaults to looking in the /home/david/Documents folder.
It looks like tde is ignoring the setting. Anybody else see this in the latest
GIT builds?

Documents is part of the XDG standards. I don't care for that default location either.
:)
Regardless, the location information is stored in $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs.
Check whether KControl is updating that file.
If not then edit user-dirs.dirs manually and restart the session. See how kdialog behaves
after that.
Could be a bug in KControl.

Good call,
kcontrol is doing it's job, it looks like the problem is in kate/kwrite not
respecting what is in the user-dirs.dirs file:

XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR[$e]="/home/david/"
How about other apps? Kate and Kwrite share much in common.
Possibly temporarily rename katerc and kwriterc and try again. I have had some troubles
with both in my migrations from KDE3 to TDE. I think the files get corrupted. I
haven't spent much time narrowing which elements in the files are confusing the TDE
versions. I think the [$Version] group is one. Just delete the whole group section from
the rc file.
Also delete the [KFileDialog Settings] group section.
See what happens.
