Now I am playing the evil guy by pointing out the truth, which will make any 
discussion superflous:
* KWin models VDs as integer values between 1 and 20. Any change to this model 
is given the code base close to impossible
* The current implementation of VDs is a worksforme. The only thing I would 
change is to have per screen VDs.
* I do not want to work on VDs.
* I consider the wm aspects of KWin as done. I do not want anyone to work on 
it.
* current development only happens in the compositor
* I would not allow a GSoC on this issue, we have more important topics
* if we want to rewrite great parts of KWin there are more important projects 
(e.g. Wayland).
* unless there is a miracle we don't have the manpower for it

Sorry for pointing out the obvious truth, it's just something we cannot work 
on.

This means I have not yet this thread and I won't read this thread. You may 
discuss what you want, but it ends up as bikeshedding as we just don't have 
the resources to implement any idea which comes out of this thread.

Sorry
Martin
