Things I'm missing/misconfiguring in KDE 4.2



Hi all,

After playing with KDE 4.2 for a while, I was able to regain
some functionality of KDE 3.5, but I'm still missing some 
things that I either haven't found yet or they did not exist.

If they exist, can someone tell me how to get that function?

1. (program starter)
In KDE 3.5, there was a mini-application for the kicker
that gave me an input line to enter a command and start
a program directly. I could not find that in KDE 4.

2. (math expressions)
There was a kicker applet that was able to evaluate mathematical
expressions that could be typed in using an input line on the
kicker. There is such a thing in KDE 4, but it lacks a lot
functionality (e. g., it has no history and could not 
parse some functional inputs).

3. (window maximizing + appearing)
I am still not able to configure the window behaviour for two
(or more?) monitors. I cannot configure on which monitor
new windows open by default and I cannot tell KDE to maximize
applications only to the size of one monitor instead of the
whole desktop.

4. (konsole tab to window)
In the Konsole of KDE 3.5 I was able to turn an opened tab 
into a new Konsole window. It's not possible in Konsole of KDE 4. 

5. (combined ram/cpu/disk-usage applet)
I once had a kicker applet for the KDE 3.5 kicker, that gave me
system information bars on CPU-usage, disk-usage and RAM usage.
It was very compact (three vertical bars). I found a CPU-usage
diagram for KDE 4, but I could not find anything for RAM usage
and the CPU-Diagram takes more space in the kicker only for CPU
than the old applet took for CPU/RAM/Disk-usage.
