</I>Basically this is the right approach, IMO. However, most often such
problems are caused by configuration not by data or applications, so
I'd try renaming ~/.kde4/share/config before doing anything else. If
that works, identify configurations that are important to you and not
quick to regenerate, and start to copy them over. *BUT*, copy only
one item at a time, testing thoroughly before adding something else.
The configuration that has caused your problem should then become
obvious and the rest can be restored if necessary.
