 If all you need is querying a decoration whether it supports something, see 
KDecorationFactory::supports(). This is already done for buttons - there's 
one flag for querying whether the client supports announcing supported 
buttons :) and then there's one flag per button. You can have the same for 
window roles.

 And, actually, KDecoration was designed to support adding virtuals by 
subclassing to KDecoration2, but I guess KCommonDecoration has complicated 
this part :-/.
