First problem. Alt seems to be very bad choice when using KDE. With alt+left click you move entire window. It would be great to have toolbar icon for turning this move on permanently. Or I will spend more time turning application window into original position then drawing anything.

I would really suggest that everyone using Inkscape would disable this. We're having more and more useful functionality for Alt+mouse, and there's no way we could move it all elsewhere. I'm sure as Linux programs become more and more complex and professional, not only Inkscape will run into this problem. (E.g. Xara LX developers have also been discussing this.)
Gnome now has an option to use Win key instead of Alt for this window action - this makes a lot more sense. Gnome users, please bug Gnome devs to make this the default!
KDE users, please bug KDE devs to provide this option as well and also make it the default!
I have strange problem at this one (partially related to this new feature). I use wacom tablet. In "stylus" mode there is no pressure sensitivity (works fine with calligraphic tool), but "eraser" mode does the job (again fine with calligraphic). Same strange problem with rectangle tool -- every other works fine. More strangeness: Only rapid movement with "stylus" are drawing tiny, tiny rectangles.
That's strange, but I can't really debug this because it works fine for me. Please file a bug with as much detail as possible. Also please search bug reports for "tablet" and have a look - maybe you'll see something similar to your symptoms.
P.S. If you are interested to see samples of work I've done using Inkscape let me know. I wanted to send something to the list, but it was 120kb big file, and I gave up. It still could be done offlist.
Of course, we are always interested in seeing more Inkscape art. Especially now that we started collecting 0.44 screenshots. So if you have anything graphically interesting _and_ illustrating some 0.44 feature we'll want it for a screenshot.
