Hi! I''m not sure whether this is the right way (TM) to give you this information or whether it should be filled in bug reports... Anyway. First, let me thank you for the integration work, after switching from apt-get to aptitude the upgrade was a breeze. There were no "show stoppers" only a few glitches which I''m reporting: When I added a start icon for the showimg application to my panel I didn''t get the appropriate icon. I fixed this by copying the /usr/share/applications/kde/gwenview.desktop file to showimg.desktop and modifyed it with a text editor. The other applications showed their correct icon. Should I file a bug report? When updating kmail I used aptitude -t experimental install kontact and expected that kmail would automagically be updated to. But it wasn''t. Shouldn''t there be a dependency taking care of this? After aptitude upgraded kmail (from the KDE 3.5.9 Version to KDE 4.1 version) the start icon I added to the panel didn''t start kmail anymore. I manually set the desktop file path in .kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc to Url=file:///usr/share/applications/kde4/KMail.desktop restarted the desktop and kmail launches again. So I expect that with other KDE programs making their transition from KDE 3 to KDE 4 they will face the same problem. kmail started and told me that this was the first start and I should do some configuration. I aborted kmail, copied my .kde/share/apps/kmail directory to .kde4/share/apps as well as the files .kde/share/config/kmailrc and .kde/share/config/kmail.eventsrc After starting kmail again everything was in place except my identity as well as my accounts sending settings. I had to configure them via the settings menu. Is there any transition tool planed for such situations? That''s it for the start, I guess I''ve forgotten other things ..., but maybe this is helpful though. regards matthias

Anyway, the proper way to do this would be to upgrade the kdepim meta-package which has the right dependencies. I think it should be considered a bug anyway.> After aptitude upgraded kmail (from the KDE 3.5.9 Version to KDE 4.1 > version) the start icon I added to the panel didn''t start kmail anymore.

There have been some talks about this in the team. I didn''t know the panel issue btw, but don''t see an easy way to fix it automatically. Regards -- Xavier Vello

Which would be weird but not implausible during the transition period. A conflict would simply cause the old kmail to be uninstalled, which would not benefit kontact''s mail functionality one way or another.
