Speaking of tempfiles, I have an idea for KDE4, which I'm actually use 
already in Quanta.Some applications create temporary files whose names 
are user visible. Even if they set some name for the files it's still 
ugly as it looks like:
quantaSOMERANDOMSTRING.extension

where SOMERANDOMSTRING is very ugly. So instead of that I create a 
temporary directory (with a random name) and a file inside which has 
the name and the extension exactly how I want.
 What would you think about having this in the libraries? For example it 
could be used when opening a file from an external site from Konqueror 
when the opening app does not support KIO (so the file is first 
downloaded).

Yes, this means to keep and extend KTempFile.
