Dolphin seems to have fixed it's Vista-like goofiness with the

Dolphin is pretty nice, though there are cases where Konqueror still runs circles around it. For example, if you want a horizontal split or more than one split. Also, I don't think Dolphin has the file size view plugin, which is nice for finding hidden monsters in your ~.

The terminal panel is a brilliant idea (never noticed
before - maybe it's new since about 4.5ish?).

Hehe, this has been around since...at least KDE 3.4 (Before Dolphin was written). The shortcut is F4. :)

As of the latest version, Xfce seems to be about the only DE that can
handle my side-mounted taskbar worth a darn.

Really? I figured Plasma would probably be able to do a decent job. :/ I guess they still haven't gotten it into shape. Have you tried the 4.11 versions?

Mint seems to be the best Debian for a desktop

I've been hearing good things about aptosid and Mepis lately, too.
