This may or may not help in this particular situation, considering this 
is about a full-featured Desktop Environment (with which I have only 
limited experience).

Developers tend to be quite conservative on such moves and will err on 
the side of caution *if* the old folder is still present.

My usual strategy in the past has been to move the old folder out of the 
way and let the application recreate its stuff in the new location. Then 
move data / reconfigure as needed.

Hope this helps,
Andrei
