Find it in the menu - type the name into the search bar, if it's not
obvious - then right-click it. You will be given the option of putting
an icon onto the desktop or onto the panel.

You should also be able to drag the icon the location of your choice on the
panel.

Nope, see my reply to Anne.

4. How does one invoke system sound for certain events, like changing
to a different desktop or the closing of an app?

I'll have to try to find out this for you - I would have expected it to
be systemsettings > Advanced tab > KDE Resources, which is the equivalent
of the KDE3 place, but the only things I'm seeing there are controls for
kontact applications.

system settings->look and feel-> notifications. event source: "kde window
manager" and there you should able to edit the notifications you mention.

Kishore, please excuse the old stupid guy. Where does one find "system
settings"?

2.Yast has tiny tiny fonts. (I am visually impaired) I was able to
increase font size in KDE and GTK to my satisfaction, but there is
nothing for QT.

As Nikos mentions, this is most likely because yast is run as root and it
uses the settings set for root user. You could run systemsettings as
root and adjust fonts in there which should hopefully adjust the fonts as
displayed in yast.

See my reply to Nikos
