and from kde2 to kde3.

I have not had the same positive result as i change from opensuse to
archlinux. But it is nice to hear that this was possible in your case.

Sorry, but if the desktop is not finished than this is the same as it should
not be released. That is something what i can't understand for the kde devs:
They say 4.1 is ready to use but they don't trust their own work and use
another config directory. But okay this is now the reality and it is too late
to change something.

Thanks for the warning to save the .kde dir on more than one place.

See you, Attila
