When you did this, did you also delete the two config files? KDE 4.1.x and 4.2.x have very different config requirements. The config file from one version will totally mess up the desktop of the other (in my experience).
The config files are in ~/.kde4/share/config and the two files in question are plasmarc and plasma-appletrc.

Now that sounds possible i will have to have a look at them shortly if i changed there names to something else will that force them to be rebuilt when i restart KDE
Delete or rename.. both will work. You don't really loose much by deleting. This controls teh desktop config, and plasma applet config. If you delete those config files, you force KDE4 back to factory defaults, and the files are rewritten with the defaults. The config between 4.2 and 4.1 is radically different, and it will definitely break when going from 4.1 to 4.2.. so logical that it will break going back as well.
