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:
23:28 valkyrie:~> cat .config/user-dirs.dirs 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.
