Dario_Andres Mentor Posts 67 Karma 3 OS	RE: [KWin] The awesome crash effect planned for KDE 4 Sun May 10, 2009 2:23 pm I wrote DrKonqi2 for KDE4.3 and we try to not show crashes as complete disasters (with full explosions sounds :P). We show them as errors and guide the user to the reporting process with lot of helps and options to restart the application. We are currently using a (self-made) "broken monitor" as icon, but we need a better one. AFAIK, when one application crashes or hangs, it stops redrawing itself (and it is closed inmediatly) so I don't know if that "broken window" effect is really possible.

A cracked window is a bit much though! Proudly dual-booting openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.3 and Windows Vista on a Toshiba A205-S4577 since July 2007.
