Mandrake 10.1: Upgrade KDE 3.2 -> 3.4

I added Thac's URPMI mirror to my URMPI repository and installed his KDE 3.4 rpms (using urpmi) as root from the console. It went and grabbed the necesary rpm's and installed them.

I figured all I'd need to do is restart Mandrake but when I did, I logged in and it's still using KDE 3.2. Did I miss anything? Are there more steps I needed to complete?

Help...

RE: Mandrake 10.1: Upgrade KDE 3.2 -> 3.4

Well, it depends on how did the whole upgrading process looked like... Were KDE3.2 packages uninstalled? If not, then you have to do it by yourself and carefully. Run rpm -qa|grep 3.2 to see if kde3.2 packages are present on your system. Before uninstalling them, though, I'd advise finding where theese 3.4 were installed and running kde from them manually (you'd probably have to change some paths to achieve that) to see if the installation is correct, as you're using unofficial repository with unofficial packages.
