If you mirror your settings and data or even migrate to a different
workstation, just grab the relevant directories from ~/.kde/share/apps/ .
The directory names should be rather rhetorical.

As a general remark, *that* is the advantage of storing everything as file,
settings included.

Notes to add:

* If the version KDE varies, I am entirely sure this will be handled most
gracefully.

* /kabc is your address book. The name does not make it obvious.

* Your mail might reside in ~/Mail, so be sure to back up this directory, as
well. It is somewhat of a generic location (separate mail clients can share
it), which I believe is not KDE-specific and is therefore not 'snatched onto
~/.kde .

Hope it helps,

Roy
