Zack Rusin of KDE has said KDE4 will have full support for widgets from OS X's Dashboard. "I finally got most the implementation of the HTML Canvas element for KHTML finished. It's in the kdelibs-js branch in SVN. After George/Maks merge their other changes we'll merge it to HEAD. I'm planning to add full OSX Dashboard compatibility layer for Plasma (hence why I've spent most of the day yesterday on implementing the Canvas element)."

there are indeed many usefull OSX widgets already available, so having these work in KDE would be cool, esp for those apple fans who want to try linux but don't want to lose their favorite widgets...
on the point of eyecandy, in itself this might not be usefull - but i'm sure things will pop up that ARE usefull. look at the genie effect mac OS X uses - when you minimize a window, it'll slide smoothly into the dock. eyecandy? yes. but also usable - you SEE what is actually happening, much better than the "window animations" linux and windows offer.
