Known problem unforuntatly.

Yes, through the normal KDE means.  It's in
playground/base/systemsettings

Rosetta translation should be available soon with any luck.

ktip isn't part of the normal Kubutu install.  It is in main though so
I guess I should change it or move it out of main.

Alt+space.  There was a systray applet but I turned it off since it
