I have been running Desparado Reloaded/KDE and did a dist-upgrade last evening after encountering error messages earlier in the day. All went smoothly with no problems at all, which is a tribute to the many hours of detail work done by the team. Well done!
Here are details:

I did the dist-upgrade exactly as the manual specifies. My one deviation is to reinstall my nVidia driver using sgfxi, which is always reliable for me.
As you know the artwork for Riders does not come down by default, which does not trouble me. If I want it I think I know how to get it.
Once again my thanks to everyone.
