 The comment about swapping top and bottom to make OpenGL coords match X has 
to stay there, in whichever form. Also, after changing binary compatibility 
it is necessary to change the API version in kwineffects.h.

 Otherwise, I cannot quite judge the usefulness of this, but if you find it 
useful, ok.

 This is rather trivial, so I don't see the need for a branch. I was talking 
about a branch when doing something that could have larger impact, such as 
using transformation matrix.
