.. which people who are using KDE 4.0 will learn to do, and probably not
notice when the toolbox becomes more useful in the future. I think the same
reason can be turned into the opposite: it shouldn't be there so that people
notice it is new, play with it and find the useful feature it provides (when
it provides one).

I'd say there are very few KDE 4.0 users right now, so it would not yet harm
or confuse a lot of people.

it is harmful though if it overlays with the panel or in xinerama
configurations.
