Yes, I did exactly that in Beryl ;)

I disagree. obs (as well as bs before) changes both paint values and the
atoms.
BTW, Beryl's obs plugin is public domain, so it could be in Compiz as
well :)

Well, IMO opacity shouldn't be in core, too. Opacity changing isn't
really a core compentence of a window manager, even if it is a composite
one. Having all paint modifier changing in one plugin is the solution
that makes most sense for me.
