Hope you are aware that this is a quite huge undertaking and we're
talking about pretty core apps, like the background kcm, koffice parts,
the thumbnail slave, okular, kopete for just KImageEffect. No I have no
idea how hard it is to port away from that class, but there are 660
references, so unless this can be done with a script I doubt thats
doable in the current time frame for KDE 4.0. KPixmapEffect seems to be
used about the same amount.
