Usability is defined by finding that menu item where its been all along, or at 
least some sort of notifier in the old location to the effect that "Oh, this?  
We moved it over there(description of there)"...

Also, since my previous post about a nearly blank taskbar, (only the kmenu 
icon and those I had manually added previously survived the update & x 
restart) I found the configure button and added most of it back plus a couple 
other toys.  That leaves only one remaining question, the clipboard has been 
moved out of the "system tray" so there is some extra junk due to its move it 
separator bar on the left.  Minor quibble though.  And I think the dictionary 
might be handy so I added that too.  I can live with this, many thanks.
