guys, I have written this multiple times:
* KWin still includes exactly the same window decoration as the one 
used by TWin
* all your configuration dialogs are basically unchanged - you can 
continue to use them

I don't know how often I have to write it: TWin and KWin are the same 
window manager.

The only difference is that KWin uses Qt 4 which is not visible when 
configured correctly (we already discussed that in this thread, haven't 
we?)

Cheers
