Looks to me like your current KDE isn't too happy with the config files
from the older KDE. Run rm -rf ~/.kde* to verify this theory. If true,
you can then try to copy bits of your old KDE config you really can't do
without to the new one.

The answer is only as good as the question. As it's pretty impossible to
ask a useful question here, google isn't much good...
