* TastyMenu [1] as a replacement for the KDE Menu in the default panel
configuration. I have already committed the spec file into SFE.
  (Tried KBFX too - but found it way too buggy - crashes kicker every once
in a while)

* Managed to port ksmoothdock [2] too. But it looks slightly unpolished to
me. Any second opinions ?

* The wonderful KDM as the Login Manager - Moinak already has the SMF
manifests ready I think.

* Modify Firefox widgets to look like KDE widgets [3]

Other possibilities:

* Apply some uniform theming to major KDE apps like Kopete, Amarok, K3B, ...
?

* BeleniX themed KSplash, KDM and background logos ?

* I tend to use -B graphics=console for the graphical genunix boot. Needs
zero boot-archive changes (only grub changes). Maybe we could try setting
this as the default GRUB entry and also have a non-graphical entry for
debugging failures ?

All said and done, the one application I really miss on my current SXDE/KDE
laptop is a Network Manager (including wireless networks) that is better
than Inetmenu. The NWAM project plans to integrate an admin GUI in b90 but
thats GTK+ and unless gnome-settings-daemon is running, GNOME apps look like
ugly bitches on KDE.
