If you use Mandrake, there are two different RPM sets (Texstar and Mandrake) 
that work side-by-side with KDE2. I'm working with Texstar's edition at the 
moment. You have to do some fiddling to get it all to integrate with KDM (the 
graphical login manager) but if you run it from the command-line as `kde3' it 
seems to work fine.

Konq knows a lot more about Java and JavaScript, and has two options I really 
appreciate, `smart' popup suppression and a dialog which explains that a MIME 
handler is missing, asks if you want to chase it down and most importantly 
has a `[X] Don't ask again' checkbox. (-:

KMail has had a *lot* of the annoying little glitches taken out.
