Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
After you didn't really like my last logout-effect (the XPish one) I wrote a cool mixture of the native KDE-logout-effect and the XPish-grayfade-effect. That means when clicking at logout, something like a shadow is falling over your desktop. Looks really cool and is damn fast! (this is why I didn't implement inline-MMX-assembly)
Hope you enjoy it!
Addition: I had also another idea for logout-effect: I'd like it, if the desktop would be blurred until it's completely unsharp after 5 seconds or so. The problem is, that a smooth blurring isn't practicable even on modern CPUs...

It kind of bothers me that Kubuntu has included this by default.

I'm a programmer, but haven't delved too deep into compilation in linux aside from my own work so this is a little new to me.
Thanks in advance for your help and if you can give me detailed enough instructions, I would be glad to write you up a document that you can provide to users as every program should have that. At least then I would be using my technical writing minor, haha.
Thanks again,
Mike.

I just applied your patch, modified for KDE 3.4 (content=22557) on PPC and it's sloooow. ;-)
Is this just a PPC problem or would I need an accelerated X with DRI & Co?

This would be impossible to do it now, kde 3.4 is coming next month and no new strings can be introduced.
tobydox, have you contacted the kde developers? What do they think about the possible inclusion of this one in 3.4?

Seems to be one of these ideas that simply have to come true, one way or the other.
Isn't it fast enough if you apply a 3x3-pixel convolution several times? On slower system it would blur less, on faster systems more. But who cares?
It *has* to be done, we have no choice, I know it! :D
