I'm against putting _any_ KDE text into bitmaps. What about 
translations? What about users of non-latin alphabets? Hardcoding a 
piece of untranslated English text (esp. in such a prominent place) is 
totally out of the question from the outset I hope. And so far we don't 
even have a satisfactory solution for the KHelpcenter header, AFAIK.
