Will we support Thin Client computing well with KDE4?

lost in the palette states thread)

Probably. But don't count on it happening in 4.0. You most likely will 
want to adjust your theme settings (style, windeco if relevant) if you 
are on a slow connection, as it is unlikely the defaults will be tuned 
for bandwidth rather than "prettiness". Oxygen in particular is likely 
to be a serious pig in its default configuration, although I hope we 
will be able to provide some knobs for people that really want to use 
oxygen.

Good question.
