When I was writing the message, it was a 12h old CVS checkout, and a 5
minutes old all-kde compile.

Well, I warned you about killing some work of mine and others in porting
useful kwin control modules to kde-2 but you seemed to overlook my message
(sent to kde-cvs). Then I tried to repair this but discovered that things
didn't compile for whatever reason and I definitely didn't have any minute
to look deeper at that moment. So, shitty forever postponing, I'm starting
to get sick of myself :-(

I've read about this later in the day.

Dunno. For the moment I made a nanofix. But I'll rewrite it completely,
because it's not in the stile of kcontrol modules.
