This is incorrect and very bad advice!
KDE 4 should work with most KDE 3 configuration just fine, and migrate the rest
using kconf_update. Please file bugs (upstream at
bugs.kde.org) for where
settings should be migrated and aren't. (Plasma could probably use some
kconf_update magic to import old Kicker or kdesktop settings. As the code is
completely different, that's not so straightforward.)
But in any case, removing all of .kde is NOT a good idea. The worst that can
happen is that the old settings just get ignored, so deleting all of them
doesn't improve the situation. A lot of settings can be reused in KDE 4 with no
trouble at all.
