With news sites, blogs, (paper)articles all giving attention to the new stu=
ff,=20
and the general idea that non-boring names tend to stick better in peoples=
=20
minds. Well, I guess many people choose to look at the hip sounding librari=
es=20
before the boring libs.

The question is if people will recall the kde3 FX library (which didn't hav=
e=20
too much 'oomph') and disclaim this lib based on that perception.

Renaming it to KGraphicsThatGetYouLaid or KSuperNova (be creative!) may hel=
p=20
for those case.
