The other main problem with lib approach 
was its inability to provide the taskbar 
with info on the tabs, though i'm sure 
some extension could be made to make
to do just this.

In any case, I think your point about
the number of kwin devels is most important.
Its very unlikely from what I currently
see that such a wm based implementation 
would be done for 3.2.
