KNewStuff3 is in 4.5.

The problem here is which sound framework to use. KDiamond successfully uses 
KNotify, while other apps seem to need less delay.

The rewrite of KDiamond towards KGameRenderer made the animations so quick 
that I'm actually thinking about adding cooler animations. "Animatability" is 
something which is very much related to the rendering efficiency.

Yes, I'd like these, too.

Could you expand on that? For most games, I do not know how to make the 
interface any simpler.
