Regressions in Plasma 5

Hi,

Is there some central overview of the screpped and to-be-restored
functionality lost in Plasma 5?

I’m unhappy about some things:

   - Icon-only task manager has no option to open new instances via middle
   click. Shift-click has been just implemented, though
   <https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/workspace/plasma-desktop/repository/revisions/58b2a3d1bf7828698b02ea4778996f1b8796a982>
   !
   - The klipper option to retain clipboard contents after the copied-from
   application is closed doesn’t work anymore
   <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292236>.
   - No simple launcher plasmoid for one application. do i really have to
   make a directory with a .desktop file and use a directory-view workspace
   for this? (Scratched my own itch and created a to-be-released steam
   plasmoid for my usecase!)
   - No way to make overrides for some settings when using an activity
   <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340652>. i need this for a
   workaround of the bug about fullscreen apps not preventing the screen
   turning off <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339427>.

Otherwise great work! Enjoying the look and snappiness of it all!

Best, Philipp
