Agreed. Definitely not stable enough as a compiled default. As a property in
the kde4 system configuration, however, might be an (unrecommended) option.
I have found, since the original posting which was quite a while back, not
much fixed here. The artifact in the window toolbar remains. Okular was indeed
quicker but not nicely behaved and eventually crashed out. Similar behavior
with kmail.
The new qt4 game Jag improved a bit using the option (hw acceleration is
broken in qt4.5) and seemed stable enought in this mode. No 200x but the
animation which is co-threaded with interactive play, seemed much quicker.
KDE4.2.4 is definitely quicker than its predecessor but any improvement is
welcome if stable.
