hm, yes, maybe I should have gone the hard way - but I was pretty 
frustrated ;)

And I copied back my konqueror/kmail/kwallet related files - so this ones are 
not the culprits ;)

So, I lost not too much customization - just some colours, the window 
decorations and font-settings...

Maybe it was the fact, that I used baghira with my old installation, which I 
did not installed again.

Glück Auf
