Just a few things I've thought of.

- move/copy/rename a file in $HOME
- change/apply new screensaver
- play a game of solitaire(get them hooked on kde games and they will come 
back.
- apply a new theme(from the list in the theme manager)
- change clock from digital to analog or vice-versa.
- using KHelpCenter find some specific information.
- play an mpg, mp3, and/or other multimedia/sound files.
- open an AIM client(Kit) and IM a certain nickname.

These are all I can think of right now.  If I think of more later, I'll add 
to the list.
