Yes, indeed. I always do that with a new point release of KDE: move
.kde out of the way, start fresh, and then start customizing. And I do
customize a lot; I change a lot of settings in the Control Center. My
login hang started during that process-- at some point I couldn't
reliably log in again. This was before I configured any applications;
just Control Center settings. I isolated a few that seemed to cause the
trouble (e.g. turning off certain system sounds, setting up a kwallet),
but it's not convincing; I think it's some interaction that causes the
trouble.
This is one of the frustrating things about it. Start clean, and you
should get a clean result.
I'm using the latest Debian packages from alioth. My system is also
Sarge with some Sid.

Well I'm glad to hear it, and it does seem that most other users aren't
having all of the problems that I am.
