Interface ideas for KDE 4.0

I just checked the things which m$ is building into longhorn:
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/longhorn_preview_2003.asp
(read lower on the page, about the tech & specs)

its quite impressive... Full 3D-accelerated UI, with perfect transparancy and other effects without CPU-penalty (because the 3Dproc is goin' to do that)

and for gnome, a quite ambitious project is going on:
http://www.gnome.org/~seth/storage/index.html

I guess this project is the first step to a fully new concept of controlling your computer. I think the future will bring something like the following:

(you come home, the computer detects your entry in the livingroom)
(computer): Hi! you'r mom has called, they aren't gonna be on time for dinner!
(you):well, then, call the restaurant and tell them about the delay...
(maybe you even want the compu to do THAT automatically? I think THATS one step too far...)
(computer): I will...
(computer): by the way, you've got an msg from the bank that your bankaccount is goin' too low. Should I start the bankaccountmanager?

etc etc

I hope you see this is much more than just mere "voice recognition":
=> I talk to the pc in normal language and it talks back that way;
=> it takes its own initiatives ("should I start the bankaccountmanager")
=> It is able not only to take messages from phone/mail, but it can also tell you the essence in his own words
=> and it is able to communicate without you, in your name, to someone else (this should be very well under the user's controll, I think thats a major point why I want the OSS-community to build something like this, and not M$ - the prog is way too powerfull...)

I think such a system will be used by us in some 50 years. And I deeply regret it I can't work on it, although as soon as I have some spare time, I might start learning some programming skills...

Why not work on moving from a pixel based interface to an SVG based interface for KDE 4? Everything is in place, you have cairographics, you have the mature KSVG, you have the very extremely powerful CPUs coming out, really I dont see why we continue to use pixels at all for the interface.

So the first thing I would work on is switching to SVG, start with the Icons for KDE 3.2, then aim for getting most of the GUI rendered in SVG for KDE 4.0, and maybe by 4.2 have all of KDE be SVG.

I would like that two, I am not yet a KDE developer, but i lvoe learning about it. unfortunately, KDE's documentation is not sufficent for me to learn welll, it seems very much out of date, so I am waiting for the KDE development book, I read is planned to be released, that's what I read in one of Derek Kite's CVS digests.

I am curious. Could you give us examples of things that could make the interface better ?

Please bear in mind I am but a simple KDE user and not a developer but if your post has piqued my interest.
