 Attached patches for KWin (SVN as of now) and workspace/libs implement a 
different taskbar thumbnail effect (it turned out to be simpler than to fix 
issues in the temporary one). This one makes Plasma reserve an area in the 
tooltip, set a hint and KWin renders the thumbnail directly in that area. The 
hint is just an ad hoc format for now, and the way to detect the necessary 
KWin support is just a quick hack, but otherwise this should work fine (those 
can be done properly later).

 Is that patch ok for Plasma?


 PS: Telling relevant people occassionally helps.

 PPS: Seeing the subject, could the 90's [Panel-devel] thingy from it go away 
please? Thanks.
