Usuaully when I upgrade KDE, I just delete ~/.kde and ~/.kderc . It seems to make everything a little less painful.
I always make sure I delete ~/.qt, even if I don't delete ~/.kde.

]]># pacman -Sy kdebase
and then add bits and pieces as required.
All in all a nice incremental improvement over 3.3
]]>However, it's dropping some of my settings, and I've run into some odd quirks with toolbar settings.
Nothing I can't live with, though! 8)
BTW: I did a fresh install with kde3.4...
]]>Due to a bug in pacman, upgrading can be problematic (the KDE guys think files need to be moved between libs, base, etc etc in every release), just issue "pacman -S kde" a 2nd time and it should give you a complete KDE desktop without problems.
Actually, I did that a couple of times without success. What worked was, for some reason, rebooting. Now I have all my menus again.
]]>Ok, downloading kde 3.4

About the speed: KDE 3.4 is a bit faster than 3.3 already and the visibility patch we have in our GCC speeds up things even more. I've seen a bit of KDE 3.4 RC on the KDE stand at FOSDEM, which was quite impressive in speed, faster than 3.3, and they didn't have a patched gcc version to get that speed.
]]>kde 3.4 is not final, no? (is a RC1) so, why is in the normal repositories? i think it would be only in testing..... (is only an opinion).
]]>pacman -Rd kde
and then
pacman -S kde
3.4 was installed. But I am missing menus here and there.
