------- The Spirit Of The Bug.

There seem to be one thing that is taking people apart in the various similar entries \
around this issue: Shall we have a point'n'click RMB-like option (or Xport Script) or \
should the kdepim devs once-for-all decide to make the handling of the full core of \
needed files a trivial task ?

The first option is the "Blind" one: Click a button (hit enter in your CLI), and hope \
for the best. If your reason to seek restoration is an unwise fiddle with some config \
files, you are probably dead.

The second one looks more "transparent" to me; in bug 135029 I am vouching to a \
"portable" holdall document folder that would make life of all easier: the backup \
freak (copy a single folder all over the place), the config tweaker (knows where to \
look for), the business-on-the-move white collar (can roam the world with his stuff \
on a stick)... And that architecture doesn't, on the opposite, prevent hardcore \
*nixers from cron-job'ing it, scripting tar.gz's of it, whatever the above \
conversations reflects & their technical abilities are.

&& we'll _all_ be smiling from one ear to the other,
...or so I think.
