I haven't seen a rounded kicker (kdepanel) before, maybe there is a hack in
the KDE improvments section on kdelook.org. The Transparent setting seemed
to disapear some time ago. The Control Centre in 3.2 has been reworked
again. You can change the background image of the pannel, useful for getting
a gradient type look, but maybe if you used a transparent PNG there instead
that might do something.

Look at an app called Superkaramba and look at the Karamba section on
kdelook.org. Basically the app is blank until you load a theme into it and
the theme controls functionality and look, you can then run your own custom
pannels and desktop apps ..... It's billed as interactive eye candy. MacOS
pannels can be achived as well as RSS and Weather information on your
desktop, it's a bit overkill but you could shrink kicker to being a pager,
taskbar and sys tray and get a customised panel for lunching apps.
