Well, yes and no. E knows everything that goes on inside a window using
edje. Which doesn't include such goodies and common programs as mozilla
firefox, the beagle search interface, and evolution. Which means that
you should have a very good expose-like effect, but only for e
components. Which is not quite the same thing.

Now, if we wait long enough for the composite extention to get wide
acceptance/driver support/not corrupt the root window, then e, as well
as any other app that uses X, should have access to the offscreen
buffer. Which would actually let us do this sort of thing properly.
Personally, I'm waiting for a composite-enabled pager.
