Where did you send the bug report to?  To the mail address indicated
in the report?  That means, bug-auctex at gnu.org?  I haven't seen
something on that list yet.

If you activated parsing (which the bug report would tell us) as
described on the first page of the AUCTeX manual, you would simply
have to type `C-c C-e compactenum RET' (or use tab completion for not
having to write the whole name of the environment).

In order to use kpdf instead of the default viewer, customize the
variable `TeX-output-view-style'.  (By the way, this is explained in
the AUCTeX manual.  If you have problems finding the information, just
type `C-h i d m auctex RET m Viewing RET'.)

I cannot say anything about kpdf because I don't know it.  If you are
lucky and it is as versatile as xpdf it does not lock the PDF file and
it has a refresh option.
