If you right klick the K-Meue there is an entry
"Switch to Kickoff Menue
Style" - there you are, you can switch between the two styles (Classical
and Kickoff) easily. Even if I might not use it in future I've learned from
this thread that it's there and I'm glad about it.

Now I have tried it, too :-)
It's kind of KDE4 experience: slow.
Although I did not find it buggy, it's quite useless to me.
