Things might be different on your system to mine, but you should find options to change this under 'Peripherals -> Keyboard' or some such place (in the Control Centre that is)! > KDE Panel: > 1.

You can use Ctrl-F1, Ctrl-F2 etc. to go direct to individual desktops or you can use Ctrl-Tab to cycle through them, just like Alt-Tab cycles through app windows. All the keys are configurable under 'Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout' in the Control Centre. > KMail: > 1.

Yeah, it's right up there on the wishlist. I'm sure it'll be along sooner or later. > 2.

You can use 'Settings -> Toolbars -> Show Extra Toolbar' to get buttons for a new tab and to close the current tab. There's also menu items under the Window menu. Use 'Settings -> Configure Shortcuts' if you want to change the default key bindings for something else. > 3.

I guess all the goodies will arrive sooner or later! You can have a quick search on http://bugs.kde.org to see if any wishlist item has been registered for such a feature. If not, you can add one yourself or just keep your fingers crossed. I know lots of people are asking for lots of new tab related features though, so I'm sure it'll already be on someone's todo list :-) > Kaboodle: > 1.
