Snow for KDE-4.

Just in time for Christmas, Alien Bob has been kind enough to make "snow" available for Slackware-14.2 and -current.
Many Thanks to Alien Bob for this and all the many things he has done for the Slackware project!

...it is unfortunate that xsnow does not work in a KDE environment.
Therefore, do checkout the package “kwin-effect-snow” which will appear in my repository.... After installing, go to “System Settings > Desktop Effects > All Effects” and enable snow in the “Candy” section. You can assign a key combination to the effect in order to enable or disable it. Not as nice as xsnow (the snow does not accumulate on top of your windows) but it does present that christmas feeling.

Yes I'm amused, we now have snow on our beach! see attached, where's that lime for my Corona?

I don't normally use toys like this, but since it was 70*F (21*C) here today I figured it was ok this time.
