4.2.1 in another session, as another user. Having separate user accounts for
for each version keeps settings separated, but inconvenience is, for instance
email handling.
Without snapshot [keyboard PrtScrn] of the settings I can't tell is that a
bug, or just normal behavior.
For some settings you have to be root user. On such pages there is a button at
the bottom Administrator Mode. Press it, give root password and you can
change all settings, otherwise you can change only user settings.
That is the reason that some settings are available only in Administrator
Mode. For instance Date & Time. You can't set different time for each user.

I have some screenshots that demonstrate the problem.
The path is Main Menu (KDE Kicker-Image URL # 1) > Personal Settings (Configure Desktop) [not the KDE4 Menu option] > System Administration (last item in left panel). The option for all the items under 'System Administration' , viz. -
- Date & Time
- Font Installer
- KDM Theme Manager (screenshot)
- Login Manager
are all grayed-out (though the screenshot is only of the 'Theme Manager' tab).
The images are at:
