But that's how a lot of things are done now. And I don't think
it's that bad.

The idea is more or less "what is nice to have enabled by default,
does not make sense to add a configure option in WPrefs and can
still be compiled out if someone has a strong feeling against it to
the point of wanting the sources to look how to remove it".

A configure option is not apropriate in this case. It should be
used for rather upper-level stuff like "xinerama" or "modelock".
Using a configure option to decide whether to use animation for 
some icon is too much, IMHO.

Right, in fact I think the current "highlight level" is not too
visible if one is not paying too much attention.

But again, I am all for sensible default values. Having configurable
options for everything is not what I want to do.
