 * Kynaptic/Kapture DCOP calls. Then my [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=23981 Kubuntu Package Menu] can use Kynaptic instead of xterm and kdialog. Fixes need for dpkg commands.
 * [http://kconfigure.sourceforge.net/ KConfigure]. Fixes need for configure, make, make install, and/or checkinstall commands. (suggested on KubuntuSuggestedPackages)
 * [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17201 kio-locate]. Fixes need for locate and find commands (in universe now, but needs to be in main).
 * [http://www.simonzone.com/software/guidance/ Guidance], a bunch of kcontrol modules. Fixes need for manually editing startup scripts, xorg.conf, fstab, and also adds a better user/group GUI. (suggested on KubuntuSuggestedPackages)
 * [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=9965 kssh]. Frontend for logging into a Secure Shell, but you still are using a shell, so maybe this is pointless… also, fish:/ (for SCP) works well in konqueror.
 * [http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=23761 KSystemLog]. Fixes need for tailing /var/log files.
