While otherwise excellent advice, I do have to object to one part:

Instead of deleting .kde, it is far more preferable to rename it to something 
like .kde-old or .kde34.  There are several very important files kept in 
there that users may regret deleting, such as the kdewallet passwords file (I 
have no idea what any of my passwords are, they're all random), all your 
bookmarks (I have 100's), kmail filter settings (I have about 30), default 
resource files such as your address book and calendar, etc.  By renaming 
them, you keep these important files around so you can re-import them and 
save yourself a lot of typing and grief.

Thanks for the write-up, I'm sure people will find it very useful.

Cheers!

John.
