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