others in this thread, lacks one important thing that prevented KDE from being yet \
another long-forgotten something from the 90's - something along the lines of "I will \
work on it". If it's just accidentally missing, you are welcome to join kwin@kde.org \
. If not, then just submit your wish at bugs.kde.org and wait until the kwin team \
gets to it. To give you an idea when roughly that could be let me tell you that the \
weekly summary page at bugs.kde.org has some interesting statistics and that the kwin \
team in practice is more or less part of me and few other people helping a bit \
occassionally.  Anybody can have ideas, but they don't magically become reality, \
somebody has to write and maintain that. Sorry for spoiling the fun, but that's the \
                way it is.
