I have KDE 4 running as a test on my laptop which sits in the kitchen. My daughter came over because she saw the Post-It note widget and wasn’t sure if it was a real Post-It note or something on the computer.
Afterward, my wife and I were talking the widgets should show more realism. For example, after a while the Post-It note should start to curl, and then fall off the screen (unless you “press it down” with the mouse cursor?).
Was also thinking, the analog clock could have its batteries “run out” every 2 years or so. For the last couple of weeks it could “slow down” like a real clock does? To refresh the batteries, just flip it over!
What other realism tweaks could KDE 4 do to make it more “realistic”?

I think you need to test first, please stick a post-it to your screen,
then setup another computer with a webcam to take shots every 15
seconds until it curls/falls off to ensure we have the correct
timeline.
These photos can then be used to create the ascii graphic
representation for ones desktop

We could make it lock up and blue screen so it feels more
“realistic”
(I think I’m fundamentally opposed to your idea above)
it’s that (shiny?) bloated thing which often is operated with a mouse device where you click on it and it responds like a living creature. You can even make it wobble which tells you it’s sexually excited about something
Yeah not bad idea but kind of not very practical:\ In the end we don’t want the important notes to fall. In the real life we don’t have a choice but in the virtual world we found a solution, so why go back? Still good just for eyecandy:Plol!
