no it doesn't. KWin provides the same level of integration to Trinity as it 
has ever done, whether you call it KWin or TWin or FooBar doesn't change the 
fact that it is afterall KWin. Just for the fun of it, I just searched for the 
term "kicker" in KWin's source code and it still finds 11 reference.

So no, the question whether TWin or KWin is a completely different one to 
whether TWin or openbox.
