The bubblemon applet does not show animations almost all the time; these include the bubbles that go up inside the sphere (they only come at startup and after logging in and out) and the smooth transaction of the 'fluid' inside the bubble does not happen, it only happens at start up. May be this has to do with the opensource ATI drivers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Add the bubblemon applet and check 'animated' in it's settings. Things do not work as expected. There's no difference.
Notice, on restarting the plasma-desktop process, the problem gets solved.

Is this still happening with kde-4.4.2?
Tying it out if stable...
Hmm, works fine here with 4.4.2. But then, this is nvidia-drivers...
I'm using xf86-video-ati...that might be the issue. If it turns out to be an ATI issue, we can close this bug. Let 4.4.x be stable, then I'll emerge and see.
Adding x11 guys.
dE: so, what happens with 4.4.x?
This is an upstream issue.
