Looks fine to me. Go ahead and push. :)

I was concerned about using tde-config because of the original bugs that created profile directories in the system root or in the user's $HOME. Looking at the 3.5.13.1 change log indicates the related patches were backported to 3.5.13.1 in kde-config, so I think we're safe.

If somebody is using 3.5.10 - 3.5.13, the original kde-config will not have been patched, but with the migratekde3 patching these config file renaming snippets will not execute anyway. Further, previously I added a snippet to use konqueror to determine the version rather than kde-config for those older Trinity versions.

I still have my 3.5.10 profiles, which I use to test migratekde3. I don't have 3.5.11 -> 3.5.13 profiles. Hopefully before R14 is released others with those previous Trinity versions will have tested migratekde3.

We have to be careful to keep migratekde3 and r14-xdg-update unique. They serve two different purposes and we don't want overlap. For example, my recent patch to support Quanta Plus plugins.rc in r14-xdg-update. That involved renaming but the renaming occurred in the R14 development.
