Bug ID: 497552
Summary: Upgrading to KDE6 overrides users configs
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Updating KDE from 5 to 6 forcibly changes my user configurations for several
things.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a KDE version from the 5 series.
2. Configure it to use single-click for opening files and folders, and to use
the X11 session.
3. Upgrade all KDE-related software to version 6.
4. Restart the computer.
OBSERVED RESULT
My user configurations are overwritten without my consent: files and folders
are set to open with a double click instead; and the default session is
wayland, which brings up lots of issues if my config was for X11 before (e.g.
it interprets cursor sizes differently, some fonts look blurry with resolution
scaling, activates different desktop effects by default, lots of other things
broken under it, among others).
EXPECTED RESULT
Should not overwrite my user configurations without asking.
