Well, entering taskbar edit mode by clicking on "cashew" button is not obvious.
I would prefer just drag-n-drop, either via left-click or right-click.

In KDE3 I can right-click any application-shortcut icon in panel and
choose "Move button".
This is much more human-oriented approach than "cashew" button (edit
mode) in KDE4.

This is another possibility.

Exactly.
I was 100% sure that "show dashboard" must perform like "show desktop",
because:
a. It is placed in the same place where KDE3/XP have "show desktop"
(i.e. near start button)
b. Icon looks like "show desktop". (to KDE4 newcomers)
c. My first intuitive reaction was: "What the hell... KDE4 is broken! "

This default is very bad one - usability wise.

What can be done about it? Change in openSUSE KDE4 defaults ?
