10 Having struggled monumentally with KMail over the last several months, I got
11 fed up enough with setting up a new user from scratch that I now have a
12 fresh user set up and ready to go. It has the few things I want to keep in
13 my own account, and an empty directory structure for KMail. All I have to do
14 is (re)move the old account, copy the ready account into place and go.

16 That would be harder if I didn't have a ~/common partition containing
17 everything I'd need if I installed another distro but without the version-
18 specific KDE stuff. It's a hangover from the days when I hadn't settled on a
19 single distro, but it's proved its worth this year.
