Dolphin and Konsole should still use their KDE 4 configuration, the only change being the looks (i.e. using the Breeze widget theme instead of Oxygen). Plasma 5 configuration (and all KDE Frameworks 5-based applications configuration for that matter) are now stored in ~/.config. ~/.kde is no longer used, so you can recover everything from there. > 2) Speaking of virtual desktops, I can no longer see how to configure > how they look in the panel.

Right-click the pager applet in the panel, select "Configure Desktops" to name your desktops, then right-click the applet again and select "Configure Pager", and select the "Desktop name" Display option there. That will show the names you set. > Plasma is shiny and fast, so I'm generally positive so far, but these > details are going to annoy a lot of people. The partially (or not at all) migrated settings is indeed annoying. However upstream has realized they neglected this and will work towards improving this in next updates. This will obviously not affect people who already upgraded, but will make the initial experience better for users who update from KDE 4 to Plasma 5.3 (or 5.4, who knows how long it will take them ;-).
