I think that the folder migration must really be distinct from
startkde.
And above all, please, please, please, ask the user what he wants
before doing such a thing. The best place to such a dialog should be
in the setup wizard (and in the control center).

It's impossible here: if a program runs this without asking me first,
there could be no space left on the disk!
It would be good to check for space available.

Other users would prefer a clean install.
