The problem with task switcher happens probably because the

we use now is:

[TabBox]

LayoutName=window_strip

Ah yes, I remember. That thing.

PA2 uses "LayoutName=thumbnails" in ~/kde/share/config/kwinrc, we need to edit
that file to fix this problem. I will see if we can use kconf_update for that.

Yes, we definitely need a process to automatically update config files (while offering the user a chance to keep her modified version, ideally) if we offer updated packages that need changed config files to work correctly. Alternatively, we need to provide a working config file (like e.g. pacman does with .pacnew files) along with instructions that the user must replace the file in order for the system to work correctly. I'd strongly recommend the automatic update, though, at least for config files which users shouldn't mess with in PA anyways.

The other problem is still an open issue:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292820 . Today I've added a patch to
kdelibs that seems to workaround the problem (needs more testing).

If this only affects the demo files, it's a minor problem.

We need more people testing the upgrade process and reporting bugs.

Definitely. And for that, we need a process for testing the upgrade process _before_ end-users can gain access to the updated packages. Would installing the the last stable image, switching to the Testing repository and then updating be the correct way?

Cheers,
Thomas
