I expect these are pretty standard, but here we go.

Would it be better if the desktop right click menu -> create new
had Directory at the top as that is what I find myself doing most often ?
Or perhaps it would be nice if we could choose the order of items here. 
Perhaps we can already.

1) Desktop & Konqueror
Desktop>>Would like to see "send to" as an option on the right click menu. I 
use this feature a lot in windows.

>> Desktop, - Icon Naming would like to be able to,  if mouse click set to 
double click, click once to hi-lite, second delayed click, to select name and 
allow editing, same as right click ->rename

>>Desktop - Put "Create  link" option in the Desktop->rightclick->Create 
Menu. 

>>Konqueror. ( Bookmarks ) 
I love the option to create a folder within the bookmark list.	Would like it 
if when you added a new folder, the menu stayed open and allowed you to add 
the url bookmark straight away. Not sure if this is a usability-list thing. 
Would like to move bookmarks around list while list is open. Not sure what is 
possible within current kde/qt framework.

> > 2) kmail

I would like to be able to see a list filtered to show at least unread mail 
only. 

Even better if you could choose an on the fly filter for the email folder you 
are viewing. <- I suppose search does that

Selectable columns for folder views. I would like to see status column, etc.

> >3) Korganiser
I would like to be able to highlight the time eg 9.00-14.00 and then start 
typing to fill in the appointment details.

>>4) Knode
	Would like to be able to navigate the news postings with just cursor keys. 	
At the moment I seem to have to cursor to an item and then press enter to see 
the selected post. Perhaps I missed a configuration option ?


I guess these are the things I keep bumping into. 
I love kde2.2, its the killer "app" that makes me really happy to be using 
linux.
