14 Yeah, I've seen mixed outcomes when doing that. I was probably lucky.
15
16 What I really did was:
17
18 1) save the "vanilla" .kde directory that was created when kde4 first started
19 up, to have a safe rollback in case something goes wrong
20
21 2) cp -a the .kde3.5 dir to .kde4, as said
22
23 3) check that things were mostly correct, and if not rollback to the saved
24 .kde dir I created in step 1
25
26 Turned out everything worked fine (or at least everything I've seen so far),
27 so I didn't need to rollback, but probably, as they say, YMMV.
