That won't work because KWin disables compositing when a window is in 
fullscreen mode (this "unredirecting" massively speeds up rendering of 
fullscreen videos, for example).

I can confirm this behavior because I have the BeClock that Todd mentioned, 
and it disappears when I have Dragon Player in fullscreen mode, because KWin 
turns off compositing and therefore does not trigger the BeClock effect any 
more.
