I have a need to mess around with kdeglobals and I discovered this:

May of this year is about when I did the Trinity upgrade.
Is the /home/jonesy/.kde3/ merely detrius leftover from upgrading from
Trinity kde3 3.5.11? I can find nothing in there with a file timestamp
past May of this year.
What other detrius might there be?
This probably explains my past failure(s) to get Autostart to function...
My guess is that it is left over from your KDE installation when you
first migrated to Trinity. I thought 3.5.11 stored user settings in
~/.trinity - John
Maybe you are correct. Tho', I don't remember there ever being a
~/.trinity dir from before. The genesis of this system is a fuzzy
memory now. It was built from scratch from a live CD -- either a
Lucid + Trinity live CD, or a Lucid kubuntu (kde3) live CD. (Did Lucid
kubuntu ever issue with kde3?)
Anyway, what I'll do is rename ~/.kde3/ to ~/.somethingelse/ and run for
awhile to look for breakage and/or un-updates (non-Trinity) packages.
