And on the topic of restarting, how is that done in KDE without pressing the power button or is that just the default way to go about it? I noticed deep sleep turns the computer completely off but apparently saves the session on your HDD and then restores it, I haven't found a power off/shut down option in the exit menu?? Or am I perhaps supposed to log out and then shut down from the ubuntu login menu?
The KDE menu (K icon) has a category called `Leave'. It offers Lock, Logout, Sleep, Hibernate, Shutdown, Restart. Any of those can be accessed trough krunner (Alt+F2) too: type reboot and it will find you the Restart option. I take it you didn't restore the menu to your new panel?

It is actually possible to use Rhythmbox in KDE. It's just that KDE offers its own media players which integrate (much) better with KDE as whole. For instance there is a little plugin to control Amarok using krunner (Alt+F2). As a result nobody is going to bother to set up a KDE installation so as to use Rhythmbox by default, hence it isn't installed by default: if you really want Rhythmbox you need to install that manually after installing KDE. The reverse holds true on Gnome as well.
