OK,

        I have this figured out, but it exposes a couple of other problems.

(1) Desktop Effects (DE) setting, with the exception of the Animation Delay 
are not persistent between the times when the effect is enabled, then 
disabled, then enabled again. What happened here, is I switched to Flip 
Switcher, then disabled flip and re-enabled Cover and the display window title 
and the additional thumbnail bar were enabled again magically.

(2) I don't know what the "Default" effect "Animation duration" is for the 
effects (that info is hidden), but they need to be fixed and set to something 
reasonable so the effects actually look like they are supposed to. For Cover 
an animation duration of about 250 ms works fine and for flip a duration of 
280 ms looks good and still provides crisp response for the DE.

        Does SuSE set the defaults on the DE or is this another bugs.kde.org 
issue?
