Some of my old desktop settings (wallpaper, size of icons etc) were replace by KDE 4.2 default settings. But it's probably only about Plasma config, because Kopete, KMail and all other applications kept their settings.
Didn't you change the defaults of 4.1? In that case you'll get the new defaults. If not see next point.
Also, could please someone confirm me, that KDE 4.1 freezes when updating? After some package was updated, Plasma went frozen and I had to shutdown the X server and finnish the update from console.
Never update KDE while it is running. 4.1 -> 4.2 is not a minor update and will break things when you try to update it while its still running.
There is also problem with plasmoids from AUR. After update, they didn't run so I tried to rebuilt them but because of some changes in KDE, any of them will compile, but it seems to be a problem in their source codes not in PKGBUILDs.
plasmoids are the only exception that I know of that have to be recompiled or updated for 4.2. Everything else should work fine. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
