I have been ruminating over this, I am both awed and puzzled. If I am on 
Jaunty with Kde 4.3 beta upgraded from Jaunty Kde 4.2.3 which itself is 
upgraded from Jaunty Kde 4.2.2 and this OS started its life from 
Intrepid Kde 4.0; if I then remove .kde and restart, what will I get?

Thanks guys, it's a heck of a trick.
