I had the same "problem" when I upgraded from KDE 2.2 to 3.1.X.  The 
solution I found was to move the old ~/.kde directory out of the way and 
let KDE re-build it the next time I logged in.  You could just delete 
the .kde directory, but that would remove any "history" you might want 
to save.  I had to do this in all the "user" directories on my system, 
including the "root" directory.

There may be a cleaner way, but I couldn't find it...
