Plasma::WindowEffects as a name space in libplasma is just fine i think.

cons:

* it's not really 100% in the right "theme" for libplasma (a components-on-
canvas library)

* it's potentially useful to many other applications that otherwise wouldn't 
need libplasma


pros:

* it allows us to use it in libplasma (Dialog, ToolTip, etc)

* it allows us to use Plasma defines, such as location (which putting it in 
kdeui, for instance, wouldn't); perhaps this could be worked around, though

* from libplasma all plasma shells and plugins can easily take advantage of 
this functionality


so not perfect, but i don't see a better place for it. let's put it in trunk, 
start using it and see if something better doesn't become evident before 4.4.0 
is released.
