What about a "migration assistant" - just a window "Qgis detected that blah blah blah, do you want to move your stuff to the new location? [Yes] [No]" It can be implemented in Python as a "service plugin", enabled by default. The downside is that the Python support is optional, the advantage is flexibility. In Hannover we were talking about a first-run wizard. Yes, I confess I haven't start working on it yet :/ but the idea is still alive. I could start from the migration assistant and then expand the 'service' stuff also on the first-run wizzard and possibly even some localization settings (default WMSes or so).
