Hello martin!

I think we will need a private debugging session because after all my attempts, I still cant use kwin with trinity, or within it's own X11 session. I have installed kwin from the Ubuntu mirrors.

Yet when I launch kwin everything sort of freezes up! It's quite strange. I'm running the Intel Sandy Bridge. Both raster and openGL don't work.

I think i'll try and spend more time over the holidays working on this. I've also noticed that a large amount of dependencies are pulled in, but probably ones that we can remove with a small amount of work. Any Akonadi or Nepomonk or virtuoso should be avoided.

I'd like to push for this - but only as beta. I think twin has never failed me as a good, standard, well thought out manager - but it doesn't hurt to explore new options.
