   I'm also not quite happy yet with kde4. Qt4 doesn't support some keys   
   which already worked without problem in Qt3, transparent panels are only   
   available with Composite (and that's slow on my old Radeon card), and   
   there are drawing artefacts even without Composite.   
      
   A bit of info about that masking was posted in the 2009-11-02-kde-3   
   "eselect news". There's also a kde3 overlay.

   I guess it's supposed to work just as in KDE3, at least I can see the   
   same settings in the title bar right click menu. Most of the times these   
   settings work. In systemsettings in the last icon (don't know the   
   English name for it, perhaps keyboard shortcuts) there's also the   
   possibility to start programs after a window has appeared. You could use   
   wmctrl or xwit with that as a last resort.

   Doesn't net-wireless/kbluetooth work?

   I considered that, too, but next year they'll switch to Gnome 3 and   
   I left Gnome when they switched to Gnome 2.
