I think if I was in your shoes I would consider a completely fresh 
installation. backup /home to an external drive or similar, do a fresh 
installation, including reformatting home, and then just copy back the 
data from the /home backup. I think you should probably let the various 
config files (.XYZ etc.) remake themselves since the differences are 
likely large, particular for KDE going fronm 3 to 4.

just my 2 pence worth.
