Sorry; I don't agree here. I can't imagine life without four desktops

- Digital clocks are geeky. Just choose Plain as the default.
Agree; changed.
I preffer LCD-look because is easier to see the clock when I'm away from computer.

- I don't understand the fetish and dumbing down with the default view
in Konqueror with icons. Set the default view to Tree View, and Show
Hidden Files. Treat users like adults and not kids. :)
Sorry, disagree. I like the intuitive icon view myself, and even by their name, hidden files are supposed to be hidden! ;-) I can see too many "oops, I just dragged and dropped my .<critical system file> who knows where and now I can't use my computer" type complaints cropping up.
Maybe sometime we will replace konqueror with dolphin. I never used konq as filemanager because I feel it too slow and uncomfortable. I started using dolphin when I begin to create cmake scripts for kdelibs and seems pretty versatile and agile (for example filtering is very useful feature).

- A bug: Selecting the My Documents Device Icon results in an error
because the ~/Documents directory does not exist. I personally would get upset if any software created such a directory on my system. On the other
hand, I think when a person explicitly enables that device icon then
such
a directory should get created. No, not quite. I think when a person
enables that directory a pop-up should appear asking for the path to that
directory. The default would be ~/Documents, but the user can change the
text in the popup text box.
In this case I think is better to follow xdg standards. For example, for user documents, xdg_user_dir_lookup("DOCUMENTS").

- I'm glad you selected to display both software names and
descriptions in the K-Menu. I always empathize with new users and they need both. Flip a coin, but I prefer Description (Name) rather than Name (Description).
Bad ideea. For example I have 4 webbrowsers. I do not want to start one of it, but specific one. And I can continue with many examples.
