I'm not from Trolltech, but I looked for how it works. It's documented. Open 
the QT html help and click on "Key Features in Qt 2.2" under "What's new". 
There it is described (you add some X resources to your ~/.Xdefaults). No 
need to recompile anything.
Unfortunately, it seems that for some people (like me), it doesn't work this 
way.
If you get it to work with QT, it also works the same in KDE programs 
without recompiling anything.
In a program, you can enable/disable those effects with the static 
QApplication member setEffectEnabled (), so it's easy to add some options for 
this to the global KDE configuration file and set the effects in the init 
function of KApplication.
Then we could have some buttons for it in the appropriate KControl module
... after the freeze of course.

Btw: the effects are: scrolling comboboxes (when opening the list), either 
fading or scrolling tooltips and either fading or scrolling menus.
