yeah! now what's up with that? why would an upgrade touch my home directory?
upgrading to KDE 4.3 wiped my settings clear, this doesn't make sense,
and the first time ever for a KDE update/upgrade to affect my settings.
another issue, why is autologin disabled in KDE 4.3? the whole
convenience page is grayed out. i had to manually edit /etc/kdmrc to
enable my autologin again. which IS working, so not sure why they chose
to disable it :S
