The problem with install another distro (I assume you mean like replacing Mandrake with Fedora as an example), even with the same revision of KDE (note I said revision, e.g 3.4), is that you don't know how the other Distro might have changed things to suite its own way of doing things before releasing the same rev of KDE. It might still work, but then again.... If it doesn't, you can alway rename the ~.kde dir and redo all the settings.... :-(
