The panel is fully resizeable in every way imaginable, the menu can be replaced with a KDE 3.5 style menu. And the launchers are easy to do, although I would have to be sitting at my KDE desktop to describe it to you, which I am not. Just my two cents now: I don't give a hoot that any particular person prefers KDE over GNOME or vice versa. Personal preference is just that: personal. I like KDE. You like GNOME. It's all good. My problem with the Ubuntu devs has been that they make changes to core libraries without consideration for KDE breakage. This most recent change is ridiculous. A significant change in a core library after beta release is just stupid. If Ubuntu/Canonical doesn't want to support Kubuntu, that's cool, too. Stop paying lip service to "supporting Kubuntu" if you're not going to. It's that simple. Don't flirt with it if you're not ready to seal the deal.

I think the toolbar resize has been fixed in SVN, not sure though.
