Hmmm, maybe you also need to copy these files:

~/.kde/share/config/palapelirc

~/.kde/share/config/palapeli-collectionrc

Today's sleuthing was done by opening the game and opening a puzzle I
hadn't done yet. I moved one piece. Then I immediately used this command in the .kde directory:

find . -type f -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort -n | tail -1 | cut -f2- -d" "

I got the command from here:

I also immediately used this command in the .kde directory:

find . -mmin -10 -ls

I got the command from here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16085958/scripts-find-the-files-have-been-changed-in-last-24-hours

Then I moved another piece and repeated the commands. The .save file
and the palapelirc file were the only two files that changed. You
may be able to get away with just copying those over.

Although the palapeli-collectionrc file didn't change when I moved
pieces around, it looks like it contains some important stuff about
the images, so it's probably worth backing up and copying over as
well. (:
