I've tried KDE 4.1b2 (with the SuSE Factory installation), and it definitely seems to be an improvement. There are still rough edges (e.g. why does the autocompletion popup in Konqueror's address bar steal the focus?). The new dashboard doesn't quite behave like Mac OS X's dashboard, too, if it's supposed to be a clone, it's a poor one. Rotated plasmoids tend to render poorly, especially the folder view (not that rotating a plasmoid is something very useful...).
