My X has sav= e=20 under disabled for some reason, and I don't know how to turn it on, any i= deas? But feel free to write a better hack. I think such hack is still better t= han=20 nothing at all. WRT animation, it has to be done also in the application, and if the ico= n=20 lags for you, it will be even worse with animation. Just look at the task= bar,=20 here it looks terrible sometimes ( but it's also because it falls back to= the=20 'unknown' icon with the question mark, and I think the taskbar does way t= oo=20 many unnecessary repaints ). =20 Lubos Lunak -- l.lunak@email.cz ; l.lunak@kde.org http://dforce.sh.cvut.cz/~seli >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
