The kickoff button was always a source of controversy, and always will be :P
Here are my two cents:

- Get rid of the search at the top or make it use a new backend; IIRC
it uses beagle which is now old and depreciated.
- Change the back button to something else - you could use a
breadcrumb like KDE 4, or just have an option at the top to go back,
or... whatever is feasible? >_>
- Change the Powered by TDE with the logout button. So much easier. :P
