I do not like the "Desktop effects" on toplevel. "Multiple Desktop" and "Screen 
Edges" do not fit into "Window behaviour". I would prefer a new Module 
"Workspace" which unites some Plasme and KWin config modules, that is:
 * Multiple Desktops
 * Desktop Effects
 * Screen Edges
 * Screen Saver (IMO that belongs to workspace and not desktop look)
 * and the new "Workspace" module from Plasma - that needs a better name ;-)
 * (perhaps also Task Switcher)
