The quoted line is the line displayed in the tool named "Synaptic Pakage 
Manager" which evidently does NOT do what it says it is going to do.

One can remove the config folder (thanks for that) and it will be recreated so 
it IS possible to start over!  This time I'll make sure not to touch the 
Kmenu button.  No, ...Actually, I think I'll just not use KDE4 until I am 
allowed to configure my system window as I want it
