No I haven't. Now I've got distcc up and running, compiling CVS should go a 
lot more smoothly :).

However, a word of warning. You shouldn't try and do to much in a file 
dialogue; just enough so that people can open save as quickly and as easily 
as possible, and allow them to do all the annoying things they forgot to do 
when saving - creating a folder, for example.

No idea. There's a lot of functionality mentioned there, and you can only make 
it really manageable by splitting it up i.e. K3B rather than total 
integration of CD burning into Konqy. On the other hand, it would be mighty 
useful to integrate all this together....

Perhaps a more basic discussion of how to improve KFind in the here-and-now 
would be better? We can all then take it step by step and discuss what we can 
add and improve.
