I recently took some time to evaluate kwin on a TDE
system. The
kwin developers have done excellent work; kwin itself operates
well and
the configuration dialogs are relatively sane compared
to most
modern
offerings. At this point I agree with Martin that TDE
should be
looking at using kwin as a default instead of our old twin fork as
soon as
possible.
I have put together an Etherpad
(http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/61) detailing the
changes that need to occur before this can be done. Both TDE and
kwin will
need some modification to ensure that TDE doesn't
lose features
after the
migration is complete.
Based on the etherpad notes, this sounds like a post R14 goal. As
twin->kwin is a significant transition, I'm guessing R15?
