Maybe we should define animation durations in Plasma::Theme (short of any 
better idea). For example:

theme.shortAnimation: Use for small elements, for example a glow on a button
theme.mediumAnimation: Use for non-full screen animations, for example a text 
bubble popping up
theme.longAnimation: Use for fullscreen transitions on the screen

Of course, these would be used by the animations in PlasmaExtras, and we'd 
encourage developers to also use them in their apps.

Lightweight solution: Introduce a "animationsdisabled" property somewhere, and 
at least adjust the duration of our animations shipped in PlasmaExtras.

Thoughts?
