I was editing an email in Kmail once (have not tried again) and found that I 
was unable to move the cursor. I tried the arrows and clicking with the mouse, 
but there was no way to get a cursor into the text to edit the mail, so I was 
forced to send as it was (fortunately only a missing period at the end of one 
line).

Alos, the number lock never comes on when starting kde. I have it set both in 
the bios and in kde to come on at boot, but it doesn't in kde.

I have multimedia keys on my keyboard that I have mapped with xmodmap and 
setkeys and made a script to run at login in Autostart. xev reports that all 
is working and shows me the correct xkeysyn or whatever it is called, but when 
I create hotkeys? in the system settings, I am unable to even type these 
characters. The input window for the key remains empty and there is no way for 
me to enter the desired key.

Yes, a couple of times, pieces of the tool tip widget remains on the screen, 
both on the 'desktop' or wallpaper, or on the window of an application. To get 
rid of them, you have to hover the mouse over another icon and generate a new 
tool tip. Curiously, I have tool tips disabled in the window frame, but they 
show up anyway.

If konqueror is programmed to start an instance in memory for faster loading, 
then upon boot, it doesn't just load in the background, but actually opens a 
window.

The slideshow screensaver has been a problem for many years and has still not 
been fixed correctly. The culprit is always the transition with the dots in 
which a new image appears through pixels of the old one until the transition 
is effected. I wish they would just trash this transition, as all of the others 
work perfectly. As I said, this has been a recurring problem since kde3 early 
and I have mentioned it a number of times on fedora forum or the fedora 
mailing list.
