kde(mod?) 4.3: animated taskbar and program grouping

Hi,

i have done clean installs of KDE and KDEmod today and finally settled on [extra]. However on one of my installs i noticed that the taskbar had animated icons when starting programs and such (bouncing kopete, opera and such). The final install i have now does not have this, is this a feature somewhere i have not enabled yet or is it something I only had in kdemod? I have compositing enabled but cannot find where i put that anymore.

I also had a grouping of multiple programs (konsole) that "folded" out when i hovered over the taskbar. I now just see multiple instances <1>, <2>, <3> next to each other and no nifty animated grouping anymore, even when i turn it on in the settings. I am not sure this worked for me on kdemod or kde so i do not know if it is a feature that is unique to either one of these.

any tips?
stefan

As far as #2 goes, KDEMod by default uses the Stasks plasmoid-which does what you're talking about.  You can get it from AUR.

#1 I'll have to think about.
