If I understand your concerns correctly, you're not convinced that (some parts 
of) KWin should use plasma colors?

My gut feeling is that the 'desktop' is made out of a couple of components, 
i.e. 'those that are not windows': panel, desktop-space (what kdesktop did, 
basically) and window manager. So basically the things that are not apps but 
visible to the user. For example, the boxswitch of the window manager is very 
much like the pager, or the taskbar... Grouping them visually makes sense to 
me, this is done by using the Plasma colorscheme

So that's (apps) vs. (workspace without apps), basically.

Does this make more sense? :-)
