Indeed, it is nice to have the Show Desktop back and the new KRunner is great 
:-) Now trying to get the hang of Folder View.

I will comment on some of what you have found, with my update 4.0.80 > 
4.0.82

Yes I saw this as well, just had to reset it in the Kmail Config to UK-English

I think this was a patch by one of the KDE Sig people to allow moving of items 
in the Panel ? appoligies if I am wrong. I miss this feature.

I just tested this with Kmail and Kwrite and all works as it should here,

Yes confirmed here, Bug #163770

Yes confirmed again, have not found the bug # on this one yet,

I don't see this on this machine.

Other small problems seen here that other users maybe seeing:

Missing thumbnails in taskbar # 162943

No multiple rows in the taskbar #163935

I had a problem turning off the Tool tips as on occasion my machine would lock 
for a while (4.0.5)  now I can't turn them on, maybe related to this #155432

All in all I think these latest release are excellent!

Cheers,

Colin
