I was more talking about the source code clean up. If your profile is a new
one created for 1.5 then it should work. Think it should be possible from the
Tolls menu select "Switch profile" to create a new one. Yes, you can move
things afterwards, but think you need to do that manually, just copy over the
cookie-file (numeric name), password (think this too had a numeric name),
"bookmarks.html". Just see to that the old one will get the name of the ones
in the new profile.
