Toyed with it briefly. Didn't really care for it, but then I don't care for
Expose, or really anything Mac for that matter. :-) (Expose is a solution to
the "losing too many windows" problem, which systems that have a proper task
bar and proper Alt-Tab support don't have in the first place.) Kompose also
doesn't allow for keyboard-based switching, AFAIK.
Yes, I'm a very visual person who likes screen placement to be just right, and
then does everything with a keyboard whenever possible. I don't claim to
make complete sense, but that's how I work. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
