This list is intented for users helping other users.
This is the list that deals with questions of look and feel and general user interface considerations.

Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by Progressive Computer Concepts. The URL is http://lists.kde.org. There you will see a directory listing of the mailing lists. Note that you can only do a subject/author search at this level. You probably will not find what you want doing this kind of search.
To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists. Just click on the folder you want to search (e.g. "kde" or "kde-user") and then the pull-down menu by the search box will default to "Body" searches. To be thorough you should probably search the "kde", "kde-user", and "kde-devel" folders.
