That is one reason I didn't leave the previous party. KDE4 has gone
bloodthirsty - it wants plasma. Somewhere drowned in plasma, will be what
you are looking for. Try the "widgets" in the top right corner.

There used to be a link in the menu, but KDE4 has done away with menus as
well. Now you get a variant on Alt+F2, where you type in the command you
want.
