well written, Darrell :)

my own migration, however, went with less effort (but some hand-editing, 
though):
I just copied my old $HOME from debian lenny (kde 3.5.10) over to my fresh 
squeeze install with trinity 3.5.13, then made a symlink:
ln -s $HOME/.kde $HOME/.trinity
before logging into trinity.
had to change some occurrences of /usr/lib to /opt/trinity/lib in 1 config 
file afterwards and all was ok....
(kmail worked 'out of the box' with this approach, most likely due to the fact 
that I have no local mail storage, but IMAP).

maybe it is a good idea to provide a migration script for kde3 users in the 
FAQ.
