ha! good, we agree on this point then and i'll move the startup handling into 
kwin itself (might have some questions for you as i do so ..); you can expect 
a review request on that for 4.11.

i agree. this will be a small gregression for usability on non-composited 
systems, but i don't see it as a REQUIREMENT feature. given how compositing 
works on more and more systems that are actually in use better and better i 
cast my vote in favour of making this feature compositing-only so we have one 
less code path to test.

while a number of people really like the bouncy icon, i think we can refresh 
it with some more modern and beautiful while keeping the "eye candy" that 
people seem to respond to. i don't think anyone will miss the bouncy icon if 
its replacement is beautiful.
