it would only help you if you checked the "reset zoom level after timeout"
checkbox, which if you were on that settings page checking some boxes, you
should already be aware of what zoom effect is and how it works, and thus you
wouln't probably want to turn it on. and checking it on by default is certainly
evil. maybe instead what makes sense is a hotkey that zooms in only while you
hold it down, and quits zoom as soon as you release. With zoom in animation it
should be intuitive too - user presses the hotkey, screen zooms in and then
instantly out and he realizes he needs to hold the keys (or just meta key) to
keep magnification.

> is only a problem for an extreme minority of users

it is now an accessibility feature, not just a desktop effect anymore, so i
guess the logic here is that it is made for the minority of people in
particular.

maybe having the same effect as accessibility (with saving to disk by default)
and as a desktop effect (with no saving to disk and with visual feedback "you
are in zoom mode" and with "reset to 100% after n seconds" option) while using
same kwin logic for both and same hotkeys, and make them mutually exclusive,
maybe that makes sense
