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.
Yes .trinity is where you will want stuff and has been for a while.
I've upgraded in sequence like you. TBH as long as you haven't yet run
any KDE4 apps you can rsync .kde/ to .trinity/ and pretty much pick up
your last KDE3 desktop as you left it. Save .trinity first if you like
just in case.
