Description Thomas Lübking 2012-12-24 21:29:01 UTC
No developer cares, no one showed up to fix it, it's claimed to be unusable and buggy (see dupes) in its current state.

Reproducible: Always

I'll write a blog to ask whether someone wants to step up to fix it. If nothing 
happens (that's what I would expect), it'll be gone in a month or so.

If we would add shader support to AnimationEffect it would be possible to 
easily reimplement it modulo the broken shader

For me, you can remove it. Newer used it because I'm uncomfortable with it.
Comment 7 Henry Rust 2013-01-19 14:55:53 UTC
I saw Martin's blog post and decided to work on this. Because I'm new to KWin and KDE development in general, I may need some time to get into it, but I'm definitely working on this issue.

Let's give it a last chance till 4.11 :-)
