The problem I had with the upgrade (started life as 8.0 then upgraded one step at a time since then.) was that with mdkkdm I lost the ability to log in as any of my users .... moved to gdm logged in to kde (everthing but kcontrol is there in the menu all else works fine) ran kcontrol from term window. modded mdkkdm in that I allowed users to show up, changed back and function returned to it. I've had this occur on 2 boxes like this.
