The latest beta of KDE's 3.2, beta 2, was released a few days ago. I installed the provided Fedora RPMs and had a look in this early pre-release version of the popular X11 desktop environment. Six screenshots are included. We look at both the strengths and the weaknesses of the DE.

"Tabs available for file management" and service menus were already available in KDE 3.1. Also KStars and kdialog were already part of KDE 3.1 (btw, the geometry app is really new, it's another one than in KDE 3.1).
"KDE 3.2b2 had a copy of the latest beta of KOffice as well" is plain wrong. KOffice has it's own development and release schedule.
The screenshots show that there changes/tweaks by your distribution (Fedora RPMs), e.g. the "Open Terminal" in the desktop background context menu is not original KDE.
Next, there is no "Kontrol Center": It's descriptive name is "Control Center" and the KDE name is kcontrol.
Last, "the "configure toolbars" should be accessible by right-clicking the toolbars". How about trying and discovering that the case since at least KDE 2.0?
