KDE4 Desktop Effects
,----[ Quote ]
| I installed KDE4 on my desktop today so I could finally try out KWin in all
| its glory. If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it. KDE4 with
| desktop effects enabled is simply gorgeous. It's fast, responsive, and comes
| with a nice array of effects options.

click, drag ... eject! (oh, and logout)

| While I many not get to relive the paper clip experience, we can do something
| for my drag-eject nostalgia! A few days back Marco Martin committed a change
| to the trash plasmoid he's written so that you can drag drives and discs from
| the Places view in Dolphin, the file open/save dialog, the Computer tab in
| kickoff, etc to the trash/recyle bin. Once dropped, the volume will be
| unmounted and, if applicable, the media is ejected.

KDE Commit Digest - Issue 93 - 13th January 2008

| Why add compositing support to KWin when Compiz is better?
|
| There can be different ideas about what better means, but regardless of that,
| the main aim of KWin is not to replace Compiz. Many users have asked for
| compositing support in KDE, and, as explained in "Why not Compiz?", the best
| way to achieve that is considered to be adding compositing support to KWin.
| KWin aims to provide compositing support, focusing on providing useful
| compositing features and basic visual effects, while keeping its other
| strengths.
|
| Here is a video, shown in Aaron Seigo's keynote at the KDE 4.0 Release Event
| (recorded by Korneliusz of jarzebski.pl), showing the new functionality of
| the KDE 4.0 KWin
