The KDE team has released the first beta of KDE 4.2, slated for release coming January. Quite a lot of new features have been added, as well as lots of bug fixes and performance improvements. This release also makes a lot of strides to feature parity with KDE 3.x, by adding those small little features that KDE 3.x users are barely aware of, but which were missed in KDE 4.0/4.1, such as taskbar grouping, multiple rows in the taskbar, panel auto-hiding, a traditional icon desktop through 'full-screen' foderview, and so on.

Well I never thought I was gonna say this but I finally think KDE is starting to look good. I like the way they have their taskbar in that first screenshot but the start-like menu needs more work.

Just add a Lancelot Menu plasmoid to the panel, and drop the default menu if you don't like it.
