Hey, I see you all are finally noticing kdefx is broken again ;-) If you search the archive you'll noticed I offered to do a huge update to this back in *2005* with both bugfixes and lots of MMX acceleration, (including a new MMX accelerated convolve). Regretfully Zack and I got into a big flamefest and it was rejected, not because of the code but because we couldn't seem to agree on anything. Search for the author "mosfet" to check it out. Since then we resolved our differences and he was supposed to be doing a new library, (it's somewhere in SVN), and I was supposed to add my filters to his lib with KImageEffect being dropped. I'm still more than willing to do this and but haven't heard anything from him in about 4 months.
