Of 0 weekend-users. Default values are addressed to this kind of KDE 
users. I don't personally don't care -- I will reset it back to 
bouncing cursor right away -- but weekend-user should have best 
possible default.

Ok, here is some evidence.

Nope. I don't think that weekend-user from Poland, Germany or Lituania 
read English forum.kde.org. Or weekend-user at all actually.

More convincing would be rather good argument or real survey (but I 
know it is close to impossible).

Currently user have:
a) immediate visual feedback
b) informative feedback (user sees icon of the app)
c) feedback at spot of click
d) unchanged main mouse cursor -- so it indicates it is operational

Now, could you tell us what you exactly propose (rotating cursor -- 
what it is?) and for what benefit? 

Cheers,
