1-repeatable sizing of panel height (impossible via KDE4 drag; easy in KDE3 via KControl)
There is a feature request for this. In the meantime you can edit your plasma config file, although I know this is not a good solution.
Yes, _please_ comment on that bug, it needs support: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163875
3-default panel height and icon size are not auto adjusted larger for higher DPIs
This sounds like a bug.
There will be a new way to set default panels soon: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2010/04/solving-little-problem-with-slightly.html
4-mc missing from Konsole menu
5-mc doesn't automatically restart when left open in Konsole on logging out
Make a new profile named mc (or anything you like) with the command being /usr/bin/mc and (optionally) set it as the default. For some reason switching to the profile using right-click doesn't work, you need to select it from the "file" menu which will make a new tab with mc in it.

6-file pickers stink compared to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104501#c2
That would be nice, but you can add and remove folders from the places panel pretty easily and the application launcher keeps a list of recently-used documents at least.
7-various windows do not reopen to size at last closing
Right click on the title bar, click "advanced", "special window settings" "geometry", check "size" and set it to "remember".
8-tree view for "systemsettings" is neither default nor a traditional tree view
It is not default because it is considered less intuitivefor ordinary users, and advanced users can change it easily enough. It is designed to mimic the 3.5 tree view, whether that is traditional or not is irrelevant to the purpose of the
How would you like the tree view to be improved? Make a suggestion!
9-YaST -> _system_ settings; personal settings -> personal desktop config settings
Isn't YaST a root application? Wouldn't changing personal settings there change the root user's settings? You can open YaST from system settings, though (or personal settings, I guess, since opensuse renamed it for some reason).
That is a Suse issue, not a KDE issue. Well, we are on the Suse list, but if you want that changed then it needs to be filed with Suse.
10-all of panel should be configurable via personal desktop config settings (similar to KDE3)
Which panel? You can have an unlimited number of panels. Which one would you configure in system settings? If you can configure multiple panels, how would you identify them?
I think that he means that there should be one dialogue for configuring all the panels, with a dropdown box for selecting each panel. This is how KDE 3 had it, but I fail to see what advantage this approach has.
11-plasma - I can't logically associate my understanding of the word's natural meaning with what it applies to in KDE4 (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plasma 1, 2, 5)
It's just a name. What does "konqueror" or "kicker", or "nautilus", "gnome", "apple" or "acrobat" for that matter, have to do with what the application does?
I have a similar problem with Gimp.
12-akonadi - overhead that that cannot be turned off even though I use nothing that depends on it (Mozillas for web; mc for file management & searching; OS/2 for contacts)
Can't you just not install the KDE pim applications?
Even if KDE-PIM is installed, Akonadi is not started unless one of the apps is started.
13-distinction between general and advanced classification of objects in systemsettings is difficult to ascertain
Yes, I think this is going away for 4.5 (or at the very least being divided better) as part of a general reorganization of system settings.
This is being discussed now on the kde-usability list.
14-keyboard/mouse seems more like "look & feel" (personal) than "computer administration" (YaST)
I think this is going in a general "Hardware" category for 4.5 if I recall correctly. Criticisms of the current system settings layout are not really relevant come 4.5.
15-why are "input actions" and "keyboard & mouse" two separate things? Seems like they should either be 3 things or 1 thing.
Also being fixed for 4.5, I believe.
