I installed KDE 1.1 without any problem, but I removed all the
KDE and QT packages before the installation of KDE 1.1. I think
that installing QT 1.42 over 1.40 and, in general, all the KDE 1.1
ports over KDE 1.0, is a bad idea. Most files are replaced,
so the coherency of the packages would be lost.
If you want to keep the old KDE 1.0 configuration (mainly
modifications to global applications and MIME types), you
should make a backup copy of the /usr/local/share/{apps,mimelnk}
directories before removing KDE 1.0. Then, after installing
KDE 1.1 you could restore the files you need.
BTW, I found only a problem with KDE 1.1: the kaudioserver process,
which allocates a shared memory segment, leaves it allocated
on exit. I use the "startkde" script from xinitrc for firing
KDE up. This problem did not happen with KDE 1.0.
