My first impression is that Kde4 is still maturing. It is not possible to do everything that we could do with kde3, but I do like the way it is going. It is fully usable, if you are willing to either pull some kde3 packages to do what you need or if you know how to do it from the console.

But my major woe was one I have already experienced when migrating from Gentoo to Kubuntu (Gutsy) a while back. At the time I could not migrate my Amarok collection (sqlite db) and listening habits to my fresh instalation.

Here's what I did.

Manually autostarting applications simply involves putting items into the $KDEHOME/Autostart folder. $KDEHOME stands for the current user's place for storing KDE settings and data, usually ~/.kde (/home/username/.kde) in KDE 3.5 systems. You can easily go to this location by typing ~/.kde/Autostart in Konqueror's location bar, or by clicking Go -> Autostart from Konqueror's menu bar (Kubuntu users will have to type the location themselves).

Whenever you click a http:// or mailto: link in KDE, by default, Konqueror and KMail will open. I’m not saying these are bad apps, just that if you have Firefox and Thunderbird installed, why wouldn’t you want to use them fully?
