No, it can't.
- kwin has to ignore certain windows, these will be inconsistent without
the palette trick.
- kwin can't do effects with foregrounds because it doesn't know what
foregrounds are, it just has a big ol' pixmap of the whole window
- what about other wm's?
Everyone keeps bringing this up, and I'll keep saying the same thing:
kwin can help (ok, so someone go hack on kwin already), but it is not a
total solution.
I would *like* to see eventually kwin and KCS cooperating, with KCS
handling the foreground effects (and inactive effects, which I haven't
heard anyone complaining about yet), and kwin handling the overall
effects... *most* of the time.

The prhase "less is more" takes on a whole new meaning if you think
about standard Unix tools.
