Dario,

its feasible if we agree on some QObject "dynamic property" name, that 
one application could set, (QObject::setProperty( ... )) and that the 
style would catch. Something like "_kde_no_animation_".
But I have no idea of a correct name (suggestions welcome), and it must 
be well documented.
