Hi Martin,

What you're proposing makes sense, on the face of it.  And I ask these
question not as a troll or flame - and not from the perspective of really
knowing what the KWin component is responsible for:

Is the binary size and performance (desktop latency) going to be
comparable?

Does it drag in other KDE 4 dependencies?
