yes, it's called poor graphics :)
try to over load your system, run something cpu-intensive, and try
resizing a KDE window, it will also happen in jumps, sometimes, if a
backup is running, and i try to resize konsole, the mouse moves, but
after 3~5 seconds does the window really gets resized and in one jump.
but when system is relaxed, gtk applications for some reason almost
always resize in jumps, it seems KDE has to do some extra work on
resizing these. maybe because of the qt themes applied to them
non-natively?
