Hi Matthew,
Not really willing to interfere, I still would like to mention that this 
config window will likely be revamped if I put in animations in the 
style, because of additional options. (and I don't think the current 
layout can handle one additional groupbox)
I was thinking of using tabs rather than groupboxes. See e.g.
http://www.kde-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=112652&file1=112652-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=Nitrogen-style

What do you think ? Would that be an acceptable design ?

I was also thinking, on the long run of something fancy like what the 
skulpture style has ... maybe.
