I see three things which speak against having it in KWin:
1. There are valid global functions independent of KWin. E.g. Show Dashboard, lock screen, 
interaction with Media Player
2. Multitouch support in KDE should not depend on the Window Manager. The gestures should 
also work if someone uses e.g. IceWM.
3. I don't want to have the code in KWin ;-) I don't have such a device and I think we are 
seriously lacking the manpower to maintain it.

And I think it would fit nicely with the existing Mouse Gesture module.

Cheers
Martin
