Couple of quirks I've come across in KDE 4.0.1 (OS 10.3), wondering if
anyone else is experiencing because I'm trying to determine where to send
the bug report, can't find anything existing on BKO or openSUSE bugzilla.

For kde bugs you should search http://bugs.kde.org

1) My panel has problems rendering icons for non-KDE3/4 applications. When
running apps, if they are not KDE3/4 applications (ie. Yast, virtualbox)
the icon in the panel will be corrupted (although the app description text
will be correct). Sometimes it will be gibberish, sometimes it be another
app icon, sometimes it will be a distorted system tray icon, etc. Couldn't
see anything about this related to plasma on BKO. My initial uninformed
thought was that maybe this has something to do with the widespread use of
SVG in KDE4, but then it works for KDE3 apps, so I'm confused.

Known issue, see above.

2) Using kmail/KDE3, when the app is reduced to the system tray, I
can't "relaunch" it. If I try to, it is immediately minimized to my task
bar, and even clicking on it won't produce a window. If I right click, it
shows that "minimize" is selected as an option, and I must manually
select "maximize", which opens it maximized, and then I must manually use
the un-maximize button (is there a name for it?) to make it a rational size
on my desktop. Have only run into this with KMail/KDE3. Other KDE3
systray'd apps seem to work fine when I click on them (ie. kpowersave) when
it comes to opening a window.

This works for me, you have to click twice though in some cases.
