adding cc to kwin, since is a thing that would be implemented there.

i think the only problem is (if i'm correct) that is not possible for kwin to 
have the window pixmap before it's mapped. (same problem of sliding popup not 
working the first time)
then setting the initial geometry for the effect sgouldn't be hard (provided 
you can fetch some way the window id of the application you just started)
