Unfortunately the problem with IO-Slaves is that they work for KDE 
applications only. It would be better to use LUFS and actually have a fish:// 
mount point on the system so that any old app can use it. The problem comes 
with cross-platform capabilities. fish:// works great on my Solaris box at 
University, but if it depended on LUFS it obviously wouldn't. Perhaps 
optional LUFS support at compile-time/runtime would be needed.

One of the other cool things coming with QT4 is Cairo support. It should be 
possible to have some cool animations and effects (and true translucency) 
because of the ability to render with OpenGL as the  backend. Even without 
OpenGL support, with new features going into Xorg, rendering will hopefully 
be better with no tearing/slow redraws, etc...

Cheers,

Damien
