I assume you've tried to disable Launch Feedback with the GUI (kcontrol) without effect?
Try editing ~/.kde/share/config/klaunchrc directly, it should contain something like:

[BusyCursorSettings]
Blinking=false
Bouncing=false
Timeout=2

[FeedbackStyle]
BusyCursor=false
TaskbarButton=false

[TaskbarButtonSettings]
Timeout=5


Also check that the file is owned and read/writable for the user.

Disabling the Launch Feedback has always worked for me (even from kcontrol)...seems strange it doesn't for you.

Yes it belongs to root not me I wonder why !? it worked after I take back the rights, this happened since couple versions ago, and every time I do a new install but still bounces, this made me mad !!

Hard to tell, possibly a (misbehaving) root process has changed the ownership...I remember running some GUI apps with sudo (instead of kdesu) sometimes could cause such changes. Was the klaunchrc the only file with root ownership in your home folder? You can find root owned files with:

find ~ -user root

this happened since couple versions ago

Upgrades leave your home intact, so upgrading won't fix such an issue (nor will fresh installs if you keep your old home partition in the new install)
