After installing TDE on a machine where KDE3 was previously installed, settings from .kde3

There may be some hick-ups here and there in some special cases, anyhow the original
settings in .kde3 are maintained
and you can always fix special cases manually.

I have an old machine that still runs KDE 3. I
plan to install Debian 8 with Trinity R14. Does R14
support settings migration from KDE3? Or will all the settings be lost?
Which distro was running KDE3?
R14 keeps settings in ~/.trinity, while KDE3 keeps settings in either ~/.kde or possibly
~/.kde3, depending on the
distro running it.
I recently did a "migration" that may have been much like you propose, for a
friend dependent on TTS functionality. He
had KDE3 on openSUSE 13.1, 12.2 and 11.3. For him I put TDE on both openSUSE 42.1 and on
Debian Stretch.
For my friend, I copied 13.1's ~/.kde/ to ~/.trinity/ using MC. IIRC, most, but not
all, KDE3 desktop settings were
preserved in TDE. We were pleased overall with the results. The few settings that were
not carried over were easy enough
to adjust.
