Some packages are not ported from KDE 4.1.3 from opensuse11.1
kio_sysinfo for example, or compiz-kde4 is troublesome too I heard.
It mostly works out by removing the things that stop you from updating, if you 
can live without them that is

I didn't see such a great leap, but it sure is very responsive nontheless

True, incredible how good it worked out to bring KDE4.2 to opensuse11.1
I hope this will be used as example to push updated versions of other 
applications into a semi official repository using the buildservice, quite 
like current KDE4:Factory where bugreports are valid in bugzilla.novell.com, 
this should help testing parts of factory before jumping in too early into a 
factory alpha where certain parts might be broken (openoffice in 11.1beta4 
comes to my mind)
