No. It migrated the activities and some other stuff. But the whole plasma
containment and widget configuration is lost. Also the window manager
settings seem to got lost.
I didn´t look yet, but it may use a different configuration directory. Oh, I
bet it does, jupp, it appears it uses ~/.config now. Directly, not even a
sub directory. Hmmm, I don´t like this. I´d rather have it all in
~/.config/kde.org or something like that. Now I have Plasma config mixed
with other configs in there.
It didn´t take me long to restore it to a state I am happy with.
And on my main machine the Plasma 5 desktop is fully functional meanwhile.
On i386 there still is no plasma-workspace package.
