Better later than never I think. ;-)


By the way, are there plans for adding possibility to query KWindowSystem to check if \
given effect is available (for example check if we are using KWin, have Compositing \
and effect is enabled in settings etc., just check if we have all needed things to \
use it)? Then checking if task bar previews are available (or mentioned effect for \
showing windows) could be much cleaner I think (I've read about plans to add preview \
of desktops to pager, so there it could be also used). Also way to trigger given \
effect could be cleaner, but it could be hard to create nice and universal API for \
that...
