No Previews (thumbnails) in Konqueror

Just recently moved /home/username to my new thinkpad t61p.  Now I don't have file previews in konqueror and konqueror only (I have previews in d3lphin and on the desktop).  I have tried resetting the preview options in konqueror and in kcontrol, still, no luck.  When I create a new user the previews work fine, though, I don't want to necessarily wipe my KDE settings.  I've changed/looked at some files like ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc though I can't figure this error out for the life of me.  I'm using KDEmod if it makes a difference.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Try konqueror >> settings >> configure konqueror >> previews and meta data and select all internet and local profiles

I tried that. I tried re-applying all settings, then no settings, then, just the dafault settings which is local protocol file only.  No luck though.

Maybe it's a matter of permissions. I think that thumbnails are created on /home/user/.thumbnails and maybe the move put an incorrect owner (the another user's UID)  or something

Good point; I did switch out laptops.  Permissions look fine.  I tried deleting all the files in ~/.thumbnails , though konqueror does not seem to be writing anything to this folder.  D3lphin on the other hand writes thumbnails to this folder without any problem.
