KDE 4 will support animated wallpapers without the complexity and weight of
such component. Plasma will, in general, be a very exciting technology. The
whole look and feel will be merely a layered and compartmentalised element, so
you could easily replace Plasma with another theme (think of Aero being
changed, or even a DE). This gives room for future extensions by 'third
parties' (no such thing in Linux really).
