The problem might be that some of the binaries or .desktop-files were renamed in kubuntu packages, so all the KDE4 apps I had in favorites didn't work anymore since the entries didn't point to them anymore, so I had to readd the apps to favorites.

If you're talking about the apps in the "Favourites" tab, apparently the location of the KDE4 binaries was changed to /usr/lib/kde4/bin. Remove the apps from your "Favourites" tab and add them again and they should work fine. If it still doesn't work, delete ~/.kde4 (all your settings and things like ktorrent's torrents will be lost, though).
If you're using kdm-kde4 as well, you might want to edit /etc/init.d/kdm-kde4 and replace genkdmconf-kde4 with /usr/lib/kde4/bin/genkdmconf and make sure that /etc/X11/default-display-manager says "/usr/lib/kde4/bin/kdm".
Other than that, I found an annoying bug in Konqueror that asked me to save all links, even links to regular web pages. But it seems to be fixed in 4:4.0.1-0ubuntu2~gutsy1~ppa1 (released a couple of hours later).
Let's not forget this is really a packaging problem, and also that this isn't even an official Kubuntu repository.

Which is why one should never even suggest this.
At most suggest to rename/move .kde4/share/config which at least keeps the user data in share/apps intact (Mails, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, etc.)
As a rule of thumb never suggest an option you wouldn't use yourself because of the potential consequences.

4.0.1 just became available in the Kubuntu repositories, and now since I "upgraded" to it, almost none of my KDE4 apps will even load. What gives?
