I suspect that it can only blur while using Compiz (I don't remember bumping into a blur plugin in kwin's kontrol kentre, and even if kwin supports blur I'm not sure whether it uses the same X flags that compiz uses). This would also require Compiz's blur plugin to (a) be enabled, and (b) be running on a card with enough features to support it. There are 3 blur modes and all but the "MipMap" one require pixel shaders IIRC. Your card may not have these.
