Why use KDE?

| You will hardly find any user guide or handbook about KParts, because it 
| isn’t a separate visible application. The magic of KParts happens behind the 
| scenes. KParts is KDE’s component framework (for you techies out there, it is 
| somewhat similar to GNOME’s Bonobo and Microsoft’s OLE). What this basically 
| means is that parts (components ) of one application can be embedded in 
| another application to take advantage of its features, without reinventing 
| the wheel. No, you don’t put the whole application inside another 
| application. You only put a part of the application, usually the core part 
| which has the basic functionalities and features of that application. So what 
| does this mean for the user? Lots!

[KDE 4] Plasma backgrounds

,----[ Quote ]
| Whenever the topics of background wallpapers for plasma comes up, 99% of the 
| time first question is: can they be animated? Animated backgrounds would be 
| cool, but the consistency with which people ask that is pretty impressive. So 
| before I continue on let me just get that question out of the way:   
| 
| Yes, background wallpapers can be animated.
