vlc isn't currently in fedora, but we're making slow progress to make it so,

that'd a big increase in space, though if we're successful in getting
libreoffice-kde integration working, maybe.

I personally prefer that too, but I'm far from a typical user too.

ditto as above.  (Though, a nice side-effect would be that login/logout
would be faster by default)

Installing multiple apps for the same function, feels wrong to me.

k3b, kipi-plugins was only omited from the livecd due to space.  definitely
want those.

chromium... not an option, it's not in fedora (and by the looks of it, won't
be for a very long time).

kdeplasma-addons definitely.
The extra artwork/wallpapers is *very* big, I'd doubt we could fit that even
on a 1gb spin (given all the other additions we want).

Besides the > 1 app per function issue I mentioned above) anything that's
not a kde app will have to have a *very* good use-case to consider, so that
includes (at least):  audacious guvcview pidgin firefox gimp gparted sound-
juicer xchat banshee xsane azureus
Would you be interested in making such a case for each of these?

Items not in fedora cannot be considered, like vlc, kdenlive, unrar
