I agree and disagree. 

The ~.kde has been amazingly stable for me as far as kde3.x series has gone. 
My home dir has gone from mandrake 8 to slackware12 over the years and across 
the distro. Not a problem, not a single setting lost.

With KDE4.1, it is ~/.kde4, and as pointed out in another mail by DR, it is 
incompatible. (Which is ok. The base desktop is not finished, I wouldn't 
expect a migration utility to up before that). Worse is both ~/.kde and 
~/.kde4 are used.

I kept ~/.kde for importing stuff as-and-when required and deleted it after 
few days. Log back in and my kmail config is empty. Just wow..
