Animated stuff certainly needs a config option and needs to be coupled to the  
Eye-Candy-O-meter in KPersonalizer.

Talking about KPersonalizer, it pretty much violates every UI standard about 
applying changes that we have. I find it very intrusive that clicking through 
it actually changes settings. i can't "trust" this application. That's bad 
because it will condition people not to rust any application because 
"clicking somewhere may break something". Please change it.

Cheers,
Waldo
