One of the things I really like about modern KDE is that I'm able to recreate exactly that experience in an updated desktop environment with an excellent compositor. Only two differences in my case:
1. I've forgone the bottom bar entirely in favor of merging everything into an icon-only taskbar at the top. But it's still got all the same features as the traditional Gnome 2 desktop (including the iconic 4-panel workspace indicator).
2. I have an "expose" feature at the top left of the screen which imitates the one really nice to have feature from modern Gnome. By hitting the hot corner with my cursor, I can show all the windows on my desktop, allowing easy switching. KDE can do this out of the box.

If I want to configure all of these settings by default (say on new user login), I have to parse the existing config and use those settings to extend my desktop. D-bus may solve this but it is a headache Example: https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/linuxTweaks/blob/master/.kdeSetup.sh https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/linuxTweaks/blob/master/.kde...
