Clones are not being created, such functionality has been there all along. It 
is not much used though because most Linux desktop users would ratheruse 
virtual desktops. 

Currently I use "kompose" (apt-get install kompose) which does pretty much 
exactly what expose does on OS/X - only that it does it for any number of 
virtual desktops too

And here is the catch in OS/X - you don't have a virtual desktop feature as 
KDE always had.

I group my tasks into virtual desktops (eg one desktop shows only clinical 
apps, one shows email, Voip, Instant messaging etc., one shows  browsers, and 
one shows my development environment - and I can flick between desktops with 
hotkeys or mouse scrolls or mouse gestures.

But if you really want eye candy (and you have a fast graohics card) then you 
install 3dDesktop - it's a beautiful 3D correlate of expose
