DesktopBlur at logout
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
OK, here's the next one... This is my first attempt to write a fast extension for KDE that blurs the desktop at logout. Looks very cool (see screenshots) and runs quite fast, even on my 450 MHz CPU :-)
The blurring-algorithm isn't percect yet, because the first and last scanline and the first and last pixel of every scanline are not blurred. Instead they are copied from pixels located beneath them... And after a while, the blurred screen doesn't look well anymore, because the blurring is never stopped, so it runs until the whole screen is filled with one color...
But this is 0.1, so let's be happy about what's already done :-)

Suggestion, merge this with the 'grey at logout' effect. I think it would look awesom - but then thats just me ;)
Keep up the good work

Do all this as root:
emerge -av kdebase
Say yes and watch closely. When you see the message ">>> Source unpacked." hit control-z immediately. This will pause the process so that we can make changes to the source before it is compiled. If you hit control-z a little late, don't be worried, it'll still work.
cd /var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.3.2-r1/work/kdebase-3.3.2/
(Notice that I'm using a more recent version :)
bzcat ~user/20904-logout_blur_01.bz2 | patch -p1
You should see the messages:
patching file ksmserver/shutdown.cpp
patching file ksmserver/shutdown.h
Then type 'fg' to tell the emerge job to continue.
