ok, i got rid of the thin line. have a look at plastik windec WITHOUT the 
annoying line: http://web.inter.nl.net/users/jospoortvliet/pictures/tmp.jpg

i just had to remove all 4 instances of ".dark(110)" in plastik.cpp
i think with this change, plastik's windec looks modern enough to be the 
default in kubuntu :D
