Not yet. But (here I am on KDE 3.1) it would be a trial and error, because I 
have no idea why I should do this and if embedding is good or bad or the 
reason for the problem.

Can you think of a way to detect the capabilities of the system and set this 
features automagicaly?
IMHO tunig in this area is well beyond the scope of a "normal" user.
May be this won't be a problem if the distributors do a nice job. 
But some users will upgrade and blame KDE  (as usualy they do not see the 
background system)
