Over the years? I suggest you start a new kde configuration.

Interestingly I've done the very same just 3 days ago (old installation was 
years old, new installation is 64-bit).

For KDE things, there is http://kamion2.sourceforge.net/ but I don't know how 
well it works. I didn't use it because I also had to migrate other settings 
(.ssh, .gnupg, .bash*, etc.), so I simply manually checked everything in 
.local, .config and .kde and copied over everything that looked migration-
worthy.

That took less than an hour, and the results are pretty good. Important apps 
like kontact/kmail/akregator/knode, konqueror, amarok all work like before, 
and I got rid of a lot of old cruft.

Of course I still have a copy of *all* old files around in case I missed 
something.

Cheers,
Carsten
