Of course it can!

You can start gnome-window-decorator and use it for KDE apps even 
*within* a xgl/compiz-based KDE session!

I did this already a few weeks ago, and run it for about 2 days with 
KDE....

But to really use it day-in, day-out *right now*, xgl/compiz is utterly
un-usable. I got fed up with it very quickly.

I still switch to it from time to time (as in: once or twice a week), to
use it for what it is good for currently: as *demoware*. It makes a cool
demo to your Windows using colleagues and friends, and let's their jaws
drop when you say in a very self confident voice "Soooo... let's see if
Microsoft can close the gap a bit when they release Vista."

The *real* work, and the really challenging part of it is to come up with
*useful* effects, integrated in user workflows (on top of all the playful,
toyish, eye-catching, mind-boggling, blink-blink-blinking, flashy, shiny
eye candy that *will* be made for it in the coming years without any 
doubt...

Cheers,
Kurt
