the 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.
