Because KDE 4 is quite broken right now as we are trying to port the various 
libraries and applications to use Qt 4 (and use it correctly).  This isn't as 
simple as just changing method names sometimes, and besides, there is a bit 
of rearchitecting to do as we try to fix things that have shown their age 
through the KDE 3 lifetime but couldn't be fixed.

Or in other words, expect this kind of brokenness for awhile.  I hear that if 
you run kwin from konsole you'll be able to get your window borders back.  
Not sure about the desktop wallpaper bug.

If you want to run a more stable development version of KDE there's the 
upcoming KDE 3.5 which could use testing before we release it onto the public 
at large...
