I have found that, when a user account has to be terminated and his various 
files distributed between other users' accounts, it is a great simplification 
to run Konqueror as root, with split screen, and select, drag and drop in the 
various targets; doing it by CLI is a pain in the fundament.
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.
