Disclaimer: I have just recently begun using CVS HEAD KDE in preparation for 
actually editing/enhancing some parts as neccesary for Utopios. Thus, I'm not 
even a KDE developer (yet?) and there are many who might have better ideas of 
good places to start.

First off, I would suggest looking at Junior Jobs, the most hated bugs, and 
the most wanted features (all listed on the left-hand column of the main 
bugs.kde.org page)

One bug that I've found *really* annoying is that Krfb's method of polling the 
display eats so much CPU that it is effectively useless. The maintainer no 
longer seems to care about Krfb, so the bug has just been sitting around 
doing nothing. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79451
