Right away AFAIK we would lose DCOP integration, the window styles that come with TDE, and the kcontrol integration. Users can already run different window managers (compiz anyone?) so I would say this decision should be made on a per-user basis. A set of instructions on the Wiki for configuring a users' session to use kwin4 wouldn't hurt. ;-) Tim
