KDE 3 features missing in KDE4 (and work-arounds)
Automount of USB devices
In KDE 3 you could choose to have usb devices mounted automatically upon plugin. In KDE4.1 this is no longer possible.
Workaround: Use an automount mechanism outside of KDE4, e.g. manually edit hal configuration files and/or add the devices to /etc/fstab.
Configuration example with udev under Debian/Ubuntu:
As root create and edit a file and named: 80-usbdevice.rules and save it under /etc/udev/rules.d/. In this file add a rule for the automatic mounting for each individual device that should be automounted.
The lines look like this for a vfat usb stick (replace ##entries## according to your system). RUN+="/bin/mount -t vfat -o uid=0,gid=46,umask=007 /dev/##DEVICENAME## /media/##usb-stick##"
Afterwards restart udev
sudo /etc/init.d/udev reload
For details please consult the writing udev rules guide.[1]
Auto-hide Panels
Kicker in KDE3 used to have an option to autohide. In KDE4.1 this is currently not possible.
Workaround: None. Implementation planned in KDE4.2
