I'd like to add another point here :)

3. KWord uses a wrong offset when it activates parts
----------------------------------------------------

Open KWord and embed another document (e.g. KSpread). Resize your KWord
window that scollbars appear on the right and the bottom. Then move
both scrollbars a little bit.
Now activate the KSpread document. The bug: The active document is
shifted by the amount of contentX() and contentY() (i.e. the position
of the "page" in the scrollview).
I didn't have time to look into it, but it should be rather easy to
fix... (note: I don't know if the other apps are okay)

Sorry that I can't do it now, but I have to prepare some stuff for
Stuttgart :)
