it's pretty much a default KDE 4.6 running kwin. except of the upgrade to 
4.6.4 a few days ago (from the PPA repo) nothing really changed. but that 
doesn't seem to be the issue either. to test that, i upgraded a laptop to KDE 
4.6.4 as well, there the plugin still works; the only difference being i'm 
running amd64 binaries on my desktop and i386 on the laptop.

i tried switching desktop effects on and off -- no effect.

nope.

i downgraded to 0.5.4 (the official natty package -- quite ancient for 
04/2011, i'd say). the plugin doesn't work there either! but i can't swear it 
ever did, because i don't remember when i used it for the last time... usually 
i open whole workspaces. nonetheless, this bothers me now, and i'm really 
clueless.

this also doesn't help. but it helped me noticing that for a glimpse of an eye 
something does appear, but it's as if it's immediately being closed again, 
like just before it's fully there. just a small grey box that flashes up.

[but if you really want to feel progress, downgrade to 0.5.4 for a minute and 
come back. it's awesome what happened to the interface in between just these 
two releases :-)]
