[opensuse-kde] KDE4.x feedback

Here's some feedback from the use case of me using KDE4.0.2 in stead of KDE3
on 10.3.
Killer missing feature (or bug, I'm not sure which):
* Plasma not giving me desktop on second screen/tv-out. This in the very least
means that I will have to keep KDE3 around as an option to be able to watch
video on nice big tv, sitting in nice comfy armchair.
Near fatal missing feature:
* No kpf. Maybe I can use a real ftp-server to replace it, but... :-(
Features that will be sorely missed:
* Konq profile menu-applet
* system monitor applet
* networkmonitor (knemo, knetload) maybe knm stats can do
* preview of various filetypes in konq/dolphin (especially PO-files and
videos)
* adding extra panels
* making panels hide until screen border/corner is touched
* easy graphical configuration of panel transparency/background
* intuitive two click access to kmenuedit
* moving launcer icons/plasmoids around in panel
* servicemenus (compress/extract, amarok etc.)
* adding menus and submenus (e.g. 'Internet') to panel
* sysinfo:/
* keyboardfriendliness of Kickoff - especially lacking a shortcut just to open
it (Alt+F1).
This is not to be considered a rant, just hoping that the information is
somehow helpful. Some of the features may be available somewhere and I'm just
ign'ant. Naturally there are also a number of things in KDE4.0 I'd miss
should I decide to stay on KDE3.
My findings after very briefly using kdepim4.1on4.0:
* Akregator won't seem to let me view the content of posts, except
in "combined view mode" which isn't nice. But last time I tried it was more
crashy..
* KMail. Can't seem to access gmail with imap. Not impossible that it's a
configuration mistake on my part, but I believe I'm using the same
configuration that works with KDE3 KMail.
* KNode. Still won't post - now it says "error, leaving in outbox", which is
slightly less dramatic than the old error from when I first tested.
* Kontact. Doesn't seem to be an option to remove unwanted components from the
sidebar on the left.
To me it seems that it hardly works well enough to really even test it yet :-/
