Thanks, Nils, that makes logical sense; and in this case, it means 
Jaunty Kde 4.3 beta. (without the personalization and settings)

Now, back to my original query,
<quote>
somebody could be in a spot of trouble if he converts to kde 4.3 in 
Jaunty and wants to change back to kde 4.2.3. For newer users, I would 
have to recommend a reinstall and being newer users, they will also 
baulk at this. It would be good if
<unquote>

So, if I want to go back to Jaunty Kde 4.2.3 from Jaunty Kde 4.3 beta,
is there a simpler way than reinstalling Jaunty and reupgrading to Kde 
4.2.3?

Thanks & Regards,
