If we want to keep them for KDE-4.0, we should each volunteer to do a "QA audit" of one (or more) of these four apps, in which we come up with a checklist of all of the program's expected behaviors, and then run the app and check that each one works properly. I've done that for KStars leading up to release, and I find it's a good way to find hidden issues.
