You can login as root, and copy the config directory for KDE from the
root user's home directory to your new user's directory
(/home/newuser).
(login as root)
# pwd
/root
# cp -r .kde /home/newuser
# chown -R newuser /home/newuser # to grant yourself access to the
.kde files
# exit
(login as newuser)
The old KDE settings should now be there. The chown may not be
necessary if all the files under /home/newuser/.kde already exist.
If they do exist, the cp will overwrite the files without changing the
permissions. If they don't exist in the newuser directory yet, you'll
need to do the chown because the files will still be owned by root
after you do the copy.
Your newsreader might use a different config file or directory, and may
also be named with a leading "." like the .kde subdirectory. Use "ls
-a" in root's home dir to see all the files/dirs that are hidden (that
are named with a leading ".")
