Implemented in trunk and planned to be backported. The trunk implementation only has auto-hide, did you use the manual hide buttons?
I do. They don't get used that often, but there are occasions where I need them, so I set them up. Depends on the screen size. This laptop does 1600x1200, so it's not a big deal, but my X21 uses 1024x768, and it's nice to have that.
Most of these are being ported. It's true that a number will still be present as KDE 3 apps only for 11.1 - digikam (maybe), konversation, koffice. You're absolutely right about streamlining being a KDE 4 goal, but the sheer number of KDE apps has made it impossible to port everything immediately.
I'd like to see KDE3 apps selected for KDE3 instead of having to deselect them and manually add the KDE3 apps. That's irriatating.
I don't give much weight to the 'extra libraries' argument on a general purpose desktop or laptop though. On a SSD-based netbook, sure. However disk space and ram being what they are, the extra cruft (a few tens of Mb) involved in installing KDE 3 and KDE 4 in parallel is no great increase over the bloat we all have from having OpenOffice, Mozilla, Eclipse and maybe a couple of g* apps installed.
Sorry, but that's the wrong attitude to take. Take this Thinkpad for example. It has a bad RAM slot, so I'm limited to 256MB. Now, it runs fine under KDE3, so I'm not worried about. But just saying that RAM is cheap doesn't mean some systems are easily upgradable. Some of my machines, like my Thinkpad X21 only have a max of 384MB, while others, like my Precision 610 Dual Xeon 500Mhz, can take 2GB. Any idea why your text is so large in your messages? It's about 3 times the size of the rest of them.....
