a) why would you have 4.1 and 4.2 both in your path? that's just asking for 
all sorts of issues with libraries and plugins that aren't compatible.

b) the upgrade mechanism is to replace plasma.desktop with plasma-
desktop.desktop. i suppose we could just overwrite plasma.desktop and be stuck 
with that entry ... but afaik that's not supposed to be a legal situation to 
have both anyways.
