Hi

I am a happy user of KDE v4.1.1, and very much like its looks (better than 3.5 
in my opinion) but some things are a bit annoying me.

- I like the 'finder' way of dolphin where the subsequent directories are 
listed in columns. However, when you want to go back up several dirs (so 
several columns) to select another dir, than dolphin crashes. Are there others 
who observe this behavoiur before I enter a bug for that?
- I do not know whether kubuntu has a package for the plasmoids or how to 
compile myself these plasmoids (which packages needed). Can you give me a 
pointer to these instructions?
- the 3.5.x  applet for managing the battery (define hibernation or shutdown at 
low battery) of my laptop is missing in 4.1, is there an equivalent or should 
I install the 3.5.x applet and use it?
- kontact can take a lot of time to update its screen when fetching mail. Is 
this normal?
- konqueror is unable to auto detect the proxy settings as firefox does. How 
come, I thought konqueror was the 'killer app' of KDE?
