KDE has freaked out in some way, but how? Where are the files that
configure the look and feel of my desktop kept? I've looked in
~/Desktop and ~/.kde4 and there was nothing there.

The files should be in ~/.kde4/share/config, so if ~/.kde4 is empty you
have a problem. Let's hope you also have a backup.


Had a look, "everything" appears to be there - no idea as to why I originally said ~/.kde4 was empty. The dates on all of the files are all over the place, that is from some time last year when I built the machine up to basically now so it looks like they are the correct files.

Is there an environmental/system variable that should point to ~/.kde4 that I should check to see is correct?
