Kwin breeze theme preview

After several major update earlier, system-wide kwin breeze theme became broken. System settings doesn't preview it and Kwin doesn't draw breeze decorations. But on fresh created user it works perfect.

I had try to delete kwin, plasmashell configs under my old user, but without result.

In syslog I find this message:

Do you have a customised version of Breeze perhaps in ~/.kde/share/apps/aurorae/themes/ ?

I haven't ~/.kde dir, only ~/.kde4

If you've got ~/.kde4 I imagine your install is a long lived one.

The fact that it works fine on a new user means it's likely an issue with older KDE4 directories that are clashing. With a new user all config would go into newer ~/.config/k* folders/files.

If you really want to fix it you could mv ~/.kde4 and ~/.config folders out to somewhere else and start fresh with new configuration data. 

By moving the folders you can always move them back if it all goes bad.
