I am using openSUSE 10.3 with kde3 but occasionally I check 11.1 with the
latest kde4 version (factory, kde4.3 currently). Do you think that they
ever will add hide-panel-buttons to the panel? For me the panel is unusable
if I cannot hide it when I want (automatic hiding is not an option).

Since I assume that the usage of the panel is not that binary for the
majority, i.e. hide buttons=useable, no hide buttons=unuseable the priority
will be quite low. If a lot of people could not get their work done without
those buttons, it would be implemented already.

Also, the clock is still pretty clumsy. I would like to set font sizes of
time and date independently. Currently time is quite OK but for date I need
magnifying glass. Really stupid.

You can hover the clock as workaround or enable and assign a shortcut to the
magnifying glass effect. AFAIK it uses the "smallestReadable" font size for
the date, so there might be a place in KDE where you can set that. Not sure
where though. For me it is readable on a 1024x600 as well as on a 1920x1200
display. Changing your dpi settings might help as well.

As with all opensource things you use for free there are only two ways to get
the features you want: a) spend your own money or free time to get them
implemented b) wait until somebody else does so.
