Upgrading to KDE 3.1 in Sid

[Aryan Ameri <a.ameri@linuxiran.org>]

Hi there:

I am currently running Karolina's KDE 3.1 RC5 Packages for sid (compiled 
with gcc 2.95) on my system, which is a mixture of sarge/sid. After 
hearing so much, about the disadvantages of keeping a mix system, and 
now that KDE 3.1.1 is in sid, I decided to upgrade completely to sid. 
But apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove 292 packages, including all 
KDE packages.

Is there any way upgrade instead of remove/install? Because I really 
can't afford to lose all my KDE settings. Is there alteast, some way to 
save all these application settings (like Konqueror and KMail) and then 
restore them?

Cheers
