Hey,

  I listed what I feel are the most important things, without this
trying to just be a bug dump :-)  I think you were after

1)  At every startup since 9.10, I get told that Akonadi didn't start.
 No clues about what Akonadi is, or how it will affect me.  Please
check upgrades, and check that they work without these errors.

2) Several apps crash when I shutdown the computer.  KNetworkManager
for one.  How did this get past QA?  Or is this Just Me again?

3) Language support is still broken, and has been for many releases.
It is still a lot of trouble just to get basic Japanese input.
Setting this up inside of Ubuntu for everyone shouldn't be that much
work - it's just a case of properly setting up ibus.

4) Firefox integration would be nice. Fedora switched to firefox by
default everywhere, and integrated firefox in nicely. e.g have the
proper file-open dialog.

5) Clicking on any file in the download box in firefox opens the file
in okular.  Messed up mimetype somewhere?

6) kmix by default does not show the volumes for microphones, and
somewhere their default volume to 0.  And skype doesn't fix this
automatically.  This was frustrating :-)

7) Are we getting a KDE version of Ubuntu Software Center?

8) The knetworkmanager thing is still way too complicated for typing
in a password.  On windows you have a _single_ password entry box.
That's it.  None of this faffing about with having to first select
from between 5(!) different options in the first combo box (None, WEP,
LEAP, etc) then having to chose the key type, etc..  Work with Will
Stephenson  on this and make this Just Work.

John
