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...
