Re: [kde-artists] please turn off label animations...

hpereiradacosta * r1070561 
runtime/trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/kstyles/oxygen/oxygen.kcfg: disabled 
label transitions animations

hpereiradacosta * r1070564 
workspace/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin/clients/oxygen/ 
(oxygenclient.h oxygenconfiguration.cpp oxygenconfiguration.h):
added dedicated option to enable/disable window title change animation, 
and disabled it by default.
It can be reenabled by adding "AnimateTitleChange=true" in oxygenrc 
under [Windeco].

by consensus and because of getting annoyed of so many email exchanges 
on this single topic while there are so many other places where I 
believe kde could benefit more attention.
