compiling kwin for kubuntu the quick way?

[Donatas G.]

Harald, though kwin did run (as I reported before), the patch was somehow
lost, so I had distorted popup shadows again... I tried it again and again,
the same result.

This was with the command sequence:

apt-get source kde-workspace
apt-get build-dep kde-workspace
cd kde-workspace-*
<apply patch>
fakeroot make -f debian/rules configure
cd obj-i686-linux-gnu/
make kwin
cd kwin
sudo make install

how is it that the patch was lost? May be I applied the patch not at the
right moment?

However, I succeeded the second way – built kwin the regular way (described
in my first email) and then symlinked the libkephal.so.4 to
libkephal.so.4.7.0.abi1
