"... On the negative side, this means that I could not test how well 3.3 ports old settings to new settings. Oh, well."
What I do is in between. I rename ~/.kde and copy back bookmarks and addressbook into the new ~/.kde created after logging out and in. The rest, like customizing the menu, sizing windows and configuring KMail I do again. It takes only a sec. I also backup ~/Mail.
