KMail 4 (and all the PIM module apps) will not be released until 4.1, carry on 
using KMail 3 instead.

Amarok 4 is not even part of the main KDE project and have their own release 
schedule, Amarok 2 is still at least 3 to 6 months away.  Continue using 
Amarok 1 instead.

Kopete, dunno, works fine for me with most services available (there, I said 
it).  Kopete developers have stated this is jut a quick port with full new 
version coming in 4.1.

Kicker is not kicker anymore, its Plasma, and it has been widely advertised 
that the config toolbox is not ready for it yet, expect it in 4.0.1 or 4.0.2.

All officially released apps are working fine for me (there, said it again).  
The apps and the libraries are in great shape, the desktop just needs a 
little more polish.  This has all been widely advertised that 4.0 would not 
bee feature equivalent to 3.5.8, if you can't cope with a 0.0 release then 
stick with the stable 3 branch.

John.
