I'm suprised that those are the only problems you encountered. Many people that did not listen to KDE's explanations have been really angry or upset about the state of KDE 4.0.0. In fact, KDE 4.0.0 is in many ways a beta or a 1.0 product, due to the massive changes in the KDE and QT frameworks.

Anyway, 4.1 (hopefully in July) should be pretty nice:
