Using the overlay for the new sets solved the upgrading.

The new features seem very problematic, for example assigning  
wallpaper to activities just doesn't work and just using activities  
seem to make the desktop extremely flaky.  Some plasmoids (like  
calendar) can be dragged from a panel to the desktop but some (like  
calculator) can not.  Then the upgrade re-enabled the stupid desktop  
search which maxes a core forever (at least an hour which is when I  
disabled it).  Also had to change the plasmoid theme back to oxygen  
from the new air.  Surprisingly the rest of my customized environment  
seemed to have survived the upgrade...

Thanks everyone!
