Hi,

In fact, I did the update yesterday. It was quite painful but it's now
working OK-ish:

 * You need to move all the plasma packages to the version 5 (I'm
   using testing so I had to force the packar manager to use them).

 * Check that you have powerdevil, plasma-desktop, kdeartwork, etc in
   version 5.

 * Purge the old plasma packages.

 * You need to restart the session (otheriwse it's compltely broken);

 * I added a `kwin` script in my path (doing 'exec kwin_init "$@").
   It's probably not needed if you have updated all your packages but
   at some point I did not have window decoration and adding this
   fixed it. It was probably because I was still using some Plasma 4
   packages.

 * I had to manually launch kbuildsycoca5 (otherwise systemsettings
   wouldn't display any configuration panel).

Some remaining issues:

 * systemsettings segaults sometimes but it's mostly working.

 * There is not support for XEmbed systray by design: xchat, hexchat,
   nm-applet, etc. are quite broken. We're supposed to fill a lot of
   bugs in a log of packages in order to have SNI support in the
   applications. I used trayer [1] in order to have a systray.

Good luck!
