Pushed in GIT hash ad8633f6.

I understand - in startkde is also instead of kde-config used konqueror. 
Also I understand the reasons to keep a separate script for migration 
from KDE3 and migration XDG.

I have another suggestion for change. During the search in the profile is 
treated, they are not searched folders in kmail/mail. But the same is 
necessary for folders dimap, imap and also autosave. On the folder 
kmail/search I'm not sure. Proposed patch attached.

Next, I wanted to ask whether we can assume the presence of xargs on the 
users machines? It can in the replacement lower overhead of repeated 
execution sed and thus increase the speed. For example:

  find $HOME/.trinity \
       -path $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/autosave -prune -o \
       -path $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/dimap -prune -o \
       -path $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/imap -prune -o \
       -path $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail -prune -o \
       -path $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/search -prune -o \
       -type f -print0 | \
  xargs -r0 sed -i "s|/opt/kde/|${TDEDIR}/|g"

Instead of launching many sed, how much will be files, can be run only one 
sed, which will process all files that are found.

What is your opinion on this?
