I'd like to add support for this. I change desktops like mad, and the new
animated thing:

1. Is too eye-catching
2. Takes up too much of the screen
3. Persists for too long
4. Doesn't provide good information at a glance

The old popupinfo was much less distracting, as it took up less space, and also
more immediately useful, because its entire purpose was to show the desktop
name. I would like to see a suitably plasmafied version of it.

If that doesn't float, here's another suggestion:

1. Give the OSD the ability to display the name of the target desktop.
2. Allow the user to set the size of the "pager" component (or possibly remove
it, in which case, with the text on, the OSD would basically degrade to the old
desktop popup).
3. Allow the animation to be disabled, letting the highlighted status of the
new desktop speak for itself.
