I ment more of the decoupling mechanism for configuring plugins itself.
Upstream compiz is supposed to be desktop independent. There's noting
wrong with gtk-window-decorator nor it support metacity themes, but the kde/qt 
one doesn't work imho. It's even disabled in Debian for now also.

It may be moot anyway if/when kwin4 has composite management built in.
