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
Cannot set khotkeys for media keys on logitech keyboard
- khotkeys is "in a bit of a broken state" no known workarounds
~~Dolphin has no "Open Terminal here" option~~ an icon can be added to the toolbar
~~Amarok crashes every time I run it (need to compile amarok 2.0)~~
- Nightly Builds work pretty well. Project Neon
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 Flash 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 loses sound randomly after running Kaffeine (KDE3 version) or Amarok (KDE4 Nightly)
Dolphin has no right-click extract options ark can't handle this?
KDE tries to start applications I had running on logout every time I logout. I do not want it to do this!
The latest Kopete no longer works with google talk Others have this problem Pidgin works fine
Konversation opens links in some strange Gnome "Web Browser", even though I have specified an absolute path to Firefox in System Settings>Default Applications
Numlock unsets every restart!
There is no way to hide systray icons
There is no 'show desktop' icon on the kicker. Can I add one? Where?

Wishlist

Hide cursor when zoomed in
Ability to close windows when running the Expose-like "Present Windows"
