i tried to do a wallpaper (called haenau) in the style of the "typical" 
default kde wallpaper that  is just some simple svg shapes that are every 30 
seconds gien a random opacity and z order, animation is very subtle (as it 
should always be) and the changes of the wallpaper are barely noticeable

even tough the qml file stays inactive for most of the time and in qmlviewer 
usually takes 0% cpu when loaded in plasma always takes some cpu, so is 
probably doing still some unnecessary repaints

Cheers,
Marco Martin
