Any alternative ? I can switch off the menu effects in kpersonalizer
when setting the megagradient as the style, which I intended to do
anyway. I talked to mosfet about that a couple of weeks back but
generally disallowing the effects inside the style would solve the
problem that the user can always enable it outside the personalizer
anyway. 

I think we should give it a go this week during Linuxtag and decide that
when everyone is back next monday or tuesday (well, maybe wednesday,
already full schedule for mon and tue :)
