Original summary:
migrate all ordinary ~/.config/ files into suitable ~/.config/ subdirectories

Problem: User experiences errant Plasma behavior. User creates and logs in as
new user and errant Plasma behavior is absent. User wants to reset his personal
settings by deleting settings files in ~/.config/, but cannot clearly
distinguish between KDE/Plasma settings files and settings for other apps or
DEs with settings files in ~/.config/.

Solution: move all files ever extant in root of ~/.config/ into suitably named
subdirectories of ~/.config/ so that users won't have to guess which to delete
to extinguish errant behavior.

I would have selected product kdelibs had there been any way apparent from
links on https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi to get there, or its presence in
any product select list in any of the categories via the "First, you must pick
a classification on which to enter a bug:"  see bug 460396
