Thanks.

It shouldn't be too hard, and it's actually something I've been planning to do
but never got around to before the KDE 4.5 release.

In the meantime I've committed a change that gets rid of the kernelSize uniform
 and makes the loop always do a fixed number of iterations instead (with the
unused kernel weights set to zero).

The MESA_GLSL=dump output shows that the loop is being unrolled, so with a bit
of luck the shader should be working now.

Working well with the Mesa drivers and the hardware our users are using is
something I consider a high priority, so if we can make the shader work without
indirect indexing then I think that's the preferred approach.

Thanks to you and Tom for all the suggestions.
