This may or may not help in this particular situation, considering this is about a full-featured Desktop Environment (with which I have only limited experience). Developers tend to be quite conservative on such moves and will err on the side of caution *if* the old folder is still present. My usual strategy in the past has been to move the old folder out of the way and let the application recreate its stuff in the new location. Then move data / reconfigure as needed.
