this part worries me a bit.

as a general rule, the more you diverge from the standard  
distribution, the more likely you are to encounter instability or  
unexpected behavior.  KDE is very big, and has lots of dependencies,  
and thus lots of potential to break things.

did you upgrade by installing new RPMs, or by building from source?   
whichever way you chose, it may be difficult to get back to a stable  
configuration if you overwrote the installation of KDE that was  
already there.
