licensing wise: due to being released under LGPLv3, BAMF can only be used with GPLv2+ \
software or compatible. see: \
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility .. it seems that kwin is \
GPLv2+? if so, then that's fine, but should be checked.
otherwise, have you any idea about performance of BAMF? hitting disk to open .desktop \
files can be expensive, though hopefully it is done rarely, results are cached and \
BAMF does a good job of locating the .desktop file for a given window (cpu-wise)

BAMF is a library used by Unity to match windows to their applications.
This is also pretty useful for KWin, possible uses are:
* better filtering on whether two Clients belong to the same application
* Using the application name as caption in case the window title is bad
* Getting better icons for window switcher/decorations, mostly important
for high resolution displays as icons provided through X property do
not include the large icons (e.g. 128x128)
* Using application name for application menu button
So far support is added to get the KDesktopFile for a Client and this is
exported to KWinEffects.
BAMF is probably also useful in other areas of the workspaces, e.g. for
libtaskmanager.</pre>
