(I couldn't find out who's the current maintainer of KDM) IMHO there should be a way to disable the superfluous animation when logging out of KDE. If it was hardware accelerated one could argue about this (when one would be willing to use a binary ATI or nvidia driver). I don't even find this anim visually appealing :( Sorry if I'm the only one who thinks like this, I'm sure there are people who like animation effects otherwise that would already have been removed... I'd really like to know the general opinion about this. Will this animation prevail or will it possible to deactivate this? >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
