Here's one:

Try typing text in a KIntNumInput or KDoubleNumInput in e.g.
KolourPaint.   This is a regression in a _fundamental_ KDE widget.
See also [http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/kdelibs] and surely, there
are more bugs that are obvious, just not being reported (we need that
kde-crunch list or similar ASAP).

I've been silent about the quality of the current KDE4 for now but I
have to agree that kdelibs is not a candidate for releasing (hence,
the name "RC") now and that the KDE4 betas have been alphas at best.
Please do not make the mistake of labelling kdelibs as RC.  It's bad
enough that we released betas of the desktop without an obvious way to
start applications, among all the other glaringly obvious bugs.
