KDE 4.2 on it’s way to sidux

,----[ Quote ]
| My brother installed KDE 4.2 on his sidux system over the weekend, using an
| experimental repo, and the reports he has given me make me very excited to
| try it on my own computer. It has a lot of eyecandy, such as some of the
| features from Compiz, but he says it is very customizable and no problem at
| all to use. KDE 4.2 definitely sounds different and the screenshots he has
| sent me show it to be so. It handles multiple desktops differently than did
| KDE 3.5 and it includes several desktop widgets or gadgets that will
| certainly come in handy in my computer work. As with KDE 3.5, it also appears
| that it will be easy to set up for my wife, which is a major plus.

New KWin effect: Sheet

,----[ Quote ]
| Currently you don’t want to use the effect if fade effect is enabled as well.
| The two effects have different durations, so the dialog is completly faded
| while still being rolled up.
