 No, it can't:

- KWin itself can't create any windows (well, or at least I don't feel like 
trying to complicate my life that way)

- It's a window manager, not a process monitor, and somebody can also use some 
other WM with KDE

- When KWin kills a window it also tries to kill its application if it can 
(which it usually can with modern apps)
