maybe an error in your "find" command is the reason for not to find the "cfg????" files.
But if U aren't a "linux-power-guru"  it is save to do a :
export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
before emerging new software  |

If you tyoe | Code: | | find /etc -iname '._cfg*_*' |
All the files that match the criteria will be found, well works for me anyway

you are doing everything correctly, if the files were located in /etc. but in this case for kde they are in /usr/kde/3/share/config. the message after the ebuild tells you the directory that the configs that need updating are in (it is usually (99% of the time) /etc, but if you type emerge again you will see it states the kde dir)
running find /usr/kde/3/share/config -iname '._cfg????_*' should list those files that need updating.
this got me the first time too took some closer reading.
