matthias elter (elter@kde.org) oversees much of the kicker development, 
though many have contributed to it. from personal experience, he often tends 
to be very busy but is very good about paying attention to things that effect 
kicker, even if it takes him a few days to address it.

(to find out who is the lead on a program you can either look in the source 
headers or take a look at the About box (for kicker, RMB on a panel, Help -> 
About KDE Panel).)

as for interfacing w/the developers themselves, please be sensitive to their 
needs and viewpoints. many are doing this on their own time and being purely 
critical, offering what can be seen as merely "your opinion", or stepping 
outside of your expertise can have undesirable effects. i think the usability 
project is _very_ important, but to have positive results it needs to 
motivate the developers properly.

ok. i think i've send that before on this list. i'll be quiet now. promise =)
