I didn't suggest that you throw out Kwin. I suggested you include the 10% of effects code from Compiz-fusion into Kwin, and try to stabilize a plugin API that both Compiz-fusion and KDE can use.

Frankly, re-implementing the effects would be far easier than a) persuading the Compiz Fusion guys to re-architect everything so that they have a neutral API and port all their plug-ins to it just so KDE can use them and b) actually doing the changes once you've somehow managed to persuade them and c) porting KWin and all its effects to the new API.
