Poorly :-). Though KDE is far from the only problem, and that particular 
upgrade didn't go nearly as bad as when I tried to go from F10+updates 
to F11 (somewhat after F12 had been released).

Upgrading from {Fn with updates} to {Fn+1 without updates} is just plain 
broken. That's why I usually do upgrades via yum; they tend to work better.
