Yes. Your method does restore users' dirs verbatim, that's as you need to do it.

That's life though, you upgrade your desktop distro and keep your $HOME, and the problem is the same. > Probably the only important KDE config file is for > KMail, as it includes the list of mailservers we connect to and their > settings. I've copied that several times, it's easy. find|xargs grep to find the file, the config file's content is self-explanatory.
