Here are some thoughts after poking around in alpha3 a little bit...
* It might be good to have a menu item for launching Dolphin as root. As with
super-user Konq, since people will probably get used to Dolphin, they will
probably prefer to use Dolphin for root actions also.
* KDE4 Konsole and Kopete crash on startup. After a while konsole would start,
not sure if I might have installed something or what changed - the crash had
been there both on live system, x86 system and x86_64 system..
* Maybe it should be considered to set kde3 apps to having "text under icons"
in toolbars to make them look more "integrated" with kde4?
* The panel clock applet takes up too much space. It won't allow you to select
a different font size. You can however select a smaller font, but that
doesn't affect the width of the applet. Highly annoying, especially on my
1024x768 lappy.
* Maybe it would be a good idea to have both KDE3 _and_ KDE4 as equal options
in the Desktop Selection step for dvd/network installation. With proper
descriptions preparing the user for for pros and cons of either choice.
Though I think 4.0 is coming around quite well with your tweaks and patches +
upstream plasma improvements - can't wait to see 4.0.3 plasma.
* Gnash 0.8.2 impressed me a lot in FF. Doesn't seem to work very well with
Konq. I think maybe the packager "forgot" to package the Klash part.
* Had some minor graphics issues - probably down to using nv driver. The
fading when the logout-menu is shown is horribly slow. And the "mouse over
effects" of task bar items caused small graphics ooopses.

* Selecting to logout from kickoff doesn't log you out automagically with a
timer countdown, just takes you to the logout menu, where you have to again
select to logout manually.
* Konq is very flaky on the webbrowsing side I think (slow and strange
behaviour, not least in bugzilla :-). Maybe it should be considered making FF
the default browser for this release if things don't improve much in 4.0.3
and maybe 4.0.4 if we can have that..
* kepas desktop plasmoid crashing plasma workspace. Filed a bugzilla for that
one.
* I wanted to test xinerama, krandr and kwin effects, and file a report if
krandr continued to crash. But Nvidia blob wouldn't compile. I guess gcc43
and latest nvidia x86_64 blob don't like each other, but not 100% sure what
caused the build failure.
