KWin IS NOT Compiz, while KWin can do composite effects Compiz is made
to do these.
Also, for all i know, Kubuntu jaunty runs with Kwin and composite
effects enabled by default (if your card supports it).

Also, KWin can use both OpenGL and XRender to do its work (make your
desktop look cool), i don't know if Compiz can use Xrender...

Well... back on topic now :)
