I documented my look into this here (though more generalized, not just config): http://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Epics/StandardPathsMigration Application specific configs could be copied with an automated mechanism that has access to the porting aids framework and thus access to KStandardDirs. Shared configs are obivously tricky, might need some symlink approach. Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
