With news sites, blogs, (paper)articles all giving attention to the new stuff, 
and the general idea that non-boring names tend to stick better in peoples 
minds. Well, I guess many people choose to look at the hip sounding libraries 
before the boring libs.

The question is if people will recall the kde3 FX library (which didn't have 
too much 'oomph') and disclaim this lib based on that perception.

Renaming it to KGraphicsThatGetYouLaid or KSuperNova (be creative!) may help 
for those case.
