Exactly, I still don't get why kwin iii made it into HEAD, with kwin people 
asking questions like "What the hell does Show unmanaged windows on: mean in 
the kcm dialog" (from a cvs commit made by Lubos, I wrote a mail to him 
answering the question but got no reply) I doubt kwin will get usable soon 
(and thanks to these sloppy WM specs no other WM works together with KDE).

So where are the people working on kwin before kwin iii? Can't they help on 
getting this mess up on par with what we had before?

Btw, I still have a local change here fixing desktop icon positioning for my 
TwinView and probably other Xinerama setups as well (without the patch it 
didn't load save icon positions at all).
