KDE4 Issues

~~No admin button in system settings~~
- They know about this Schedules/KDE4/4.2_Release_Schedule
- do sudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/systemsettings
GTK-QT not working, Firefox looks awful
- installed gtk-qt-engine-kde4 and it appears in system settings, but has no effect on firefox, thunderbird, gimp, etc.
Firefox cannot properly set helper applications (ktorrent, okular, etc)
Cannot set khotkeys for media keys on logitech keyboard
~~Dolphin has no "Open Terminal here" option~~ an icon can be added to the toolbar
Ark does not seem to handle tar.bz2 files (extracts an empty directory)
Amarok crashes every time I run it (need to compile amarok 2.0)
Mixer control have no effect on volume
- Used to have a little volume bar in my kicker that I could control with my mouse wheel. WANT.
Sound works right only some of the time. Startup sound starts playing fine, and then gets cutoff
- Phonon sometimes gives weird sound failing message
Surround sound does not work at all. Conflicting instructions on how to set this up, but no settings in KDE4 anywhere that I can see
Kaffeine and Amarok appear to be stealing Xine from each other
- (Kaffeine is working on a KDE4 release coming soon. Dragon player doesn't work/has no settings)
~~Flash randomly stops working in Firefox. It will start out fine, and then after a bit will only show grey boxes where flash should be. 64bit thing? Why would it do this?~~ It seems this is a problem only with the official ubuntu firefox package. The mozilla package works fine
Dolphin has no right-click extract options ark can't handle this?
khotkeys is "in a bit of a broken state" no known workarounds
KDE tries to start applications I had running on logout every time I logout. I do not want it to do this!
