The help ioslave :)

Ok, that's not so cool from a user perspective, it's just help pages, but, 
the man and info ioslaves, especially the #command and ##command shortcuts 
are very popular with users on IRC once they've been shown. 

Setting keybindings for all apps, even non-kde ones, is popular.  

Kpager is very cute, I use it all the time - it's quite intuitive to many 
people to be able to move icons around virtual desktops, as opposed to the 
less interactive embedded pager in the panel.  I've got lots of people who 
were quite anti multiple desktops to look at them differently by showing them 
Kpager. Turn on the "show background" and "Type of window" to icon, and most 
people love it.

I can't think of any more that aren't quite obvious, but these are the ones 
that seem to be most overlooked by especially new-to-kde users.

Good luck with your presentation, I'm sure you'll have way too much material 
for 30 minutes by the time we're all finished bombarding you!
