The usability people adviced KMail (long ago) to remove the search when 
switching folders. Which is a strategy I personally agree with.
Flashing a gui is considered a bad idea by a lot of people (remember the 
html tag blink?, and the outcry whenever someone used it?).

I'd hate to see bad usability ideas go into kdelibs.
