I am not sure if they all were introduced in final version, but most of them
were absent from earlier releases:

1. Problems with profiling.

- The toolbars when enabled in Konq once in any profile (even without profile
saving), appear in all profiles. Impossible to disable them (can be removed
from individual windows, but new windows open with toolbars).
- The navigation panel once enabled saves into profile even without save
command. To remove it from profile one needs to explicitely save profile
without navbar.
- Drives in Storage Media and any folders opened from those drives open in Web
Browsing profile, not in File Management profile.
- Many other instances when changes made in one profile affect all others.

These would be nice to fix.

2. Problems with file associations

- Some file types are opened in internal Konq viewer even dispite explicit
setting to open them in external application

Can you provide details, haven't personally had a problem with this.

- Internal viewer of Konq does not respect the Konq-wide setting to open
folders in new windows, thus text files, for example are opened in the same
Konq window.

Indeed.

Setting to use external viewer with command-line with a call to
Konq is ignored: Konq does not call new Konq instance in new window.
- If to delete file association and then create a new file association with
new name, the new one becomes broken and its settings impossible to edit.

3. Problems with Kicker

- The K-menu appears with shift from the expected position when first called
after reboot or changing KDE settings. This happens with some icon themes and
does not with others (does not happen with Crystal, happens with Slick, KDE
Classic).
See this screenshot:

Never saw this happen on my machines. Can you reproduce this consistently? Distro?

- The buttons on the taskbar are not pushed even when selected, even if
Classic view is enabled.

True.

4. Problems with desktop

- Names of some icons on the desktop are shown with incomplete dotted frame,
see these screenshots:

http://storage2.static.itmages.ru/i/11/0108/h_1294501455_1c83682e95.png

This is another one I never saw. Very strange.

- If to create a file on the desktop with the same name as a name of a
recently deleted file, the file appears on the desktop with a strange name,
while its actual name in the desktop folder is correct. The icon on the
desktop is non-functional, the file cannot be opened nor deleted with this
icon. But when the actual file is deleted the fake icon also disappears.
See the screenshot:

5. Problems with common dialogs

- In the file open/save dialogs the items in the quick access bar appear with
small icons and the discription to the right of it. Even the standard items
do not fit in that space and the width of that column cannot be increased:

No problem here. That is KDE 3.5.10, right?

Apparently the bar was designed for big icons and descriptions below, a layout
for which it is ideally suitable:

This layout can be enabled per application, but not system-wide.

- Some dialogs cannot resize large icons properly so the icons appear with
huge dimentions:
