Thanks, I eventually found them myself. Backed up all user data, booted
from Knoppix and deleted said directory. Reinstalled with "untouched"
/home directory and fresh ext4 root. Then went through some steps to
convert /home from ext3 to ext4 (apparently have no impact on old files
though until they are rewritten for any kind of reason).
Rebooted, logged in. All nice with very few glitches - some servicemenus
  I added have no functionality and such minor issues. And for whatever
reason I got some old version of my distribution lists in Kontact???

Now trying to get into KDE4 "full time". What happened to the nice
"print to pdf" for example??
