KDE is a great desktop environment suite, with two big assets from the start:
The latest generation, kde4, however brought us backward and things are only slowly recovering. It started full of irritating flaws, ludicrous loss of functionalities as compared to older versions, cast in a pompous and useless design that makes it painfully slow.
A typical atrocity is that instead of konqueror as a universal browser (a sort of emacs for whatever goes beyond text-editing), konqueror is now relegated to mere internet browsing and an atrocious so-called dolphin takes over for file browsing. This is a terrible mistake and a sacrifice of the great kde insight of a universal browser.
Below I list some problems and, whenever possible, a fix for them.
If you have a better solution, please, contact me.
You can't completely get rid of it, everything being interconnected. You merely want it never ever to pop up. Enforce konqueror as file browser in System Settings > Personal > Default Applications > File Manager.

(fixed in 4.4.2)
There was a comfortable, powerful manager of hotkeys in previous versions of kde. Now it's rubbish. For most things, you have to edit the following file by hand:
.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc
An important thing that I refuse to negotiate about is circulating through virtual desktops with the keyboard. This is achieved with the following lines:
Switch One Desktop Down=Ctrl+Down,Ctrl+Down,Switch One Desktop Down Switch One Desktop Up=Ctrl+Up,none,Switch One Desktop Up Switch One Desktop to the Left=Ctrl+Left,Ctrl+Left,Switch One Desktop to the Left Switch One Desktop to the Right=Ctrl+Right,Ctrl+Right,Switch One Desktop to the Right
The same but grabbing a window as you go along:
Window One Desktop Down=Ctrl+Shift+Down,Ctrl+Shift+Down,Window One Desktop Down Window One Desktop Up=Ctrl+Shift+Up,Ctrl+Shift+Up,Window One Desktop Up Window One Desktop to the Left=Ctrl+Shift+Left,Ctrl+Shift+Left,Window One Desktop to the Left Window One Desktop to the Right=Ctrl+Shift+Right,Ctrl+Shift+Right,Window One Desktop to the Right
The following (mapped to Ctrl+Alt+M) will insert the tag <m></m> and position your cursor between the tags, so you can start editing.
:<:M:Shift+>:<:Shift+/:M:Shift+>:Left:Left:Left:Left
(you can use Ctrl+B for Left in emacs compatible environment, but Left is more general).
