Can I disable fancy Suse/KDE animated OS effects?

I am using a Suse 10.0 Linux box via 1.5 meg DSL using NX Client and
Personal Server.
The graphic effects that happen when I mouse over buttons in the task
bar cause a big pause while they draw. This is maddening. I can't
believe there are enough graphics in that effect to matter when Matlab
can throw up complex graphs almost in real time. But they are painfully
slow. It looks like a little pop up with the name and logo of the
button that fades out as black holes expand in size, finally the little
pop up goes away.

Can I disable these fancy animation effects?

Many many thanks in advance if you can alleviate my aggravation and
speed my work.

Thanks,
Jim

PS - NX is the best thing since sliced bread. Best software dollars I
ever spent.
