I found this:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171925

which is passed off to this:
http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=219318

So I filed this:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196303

What features, specifically, do you like? Add them to the bug I filed!
