Is there a 'Kexpose' or something?

Expose is the new feature created by Mac OS X 10.3, it shows an overview of all the opened window and application so that select one of them become much more easier, is there a KDE implementation?

I don't know the way it works in Mac OS, but "KasBar"
does something like this. You can activate KasBar by
right-clicking the panel and selecting
[Panel Menu] -> Add -> Panel -> KasBar

It keeps an icon for each window (or is it app?)
and it provides previews of the window content.
One at a time, though, so there's not an overview
where you see them all at once.
It groups windows of the same type together.

I noticed that the preview only seems to work
on grouped icons, not if there's just one window
of a certain type.

I googled for the exposé feature. I think it's quite different from KasBar. You might give it a try anyway.

I'm not aware of anything like exposé in KDE...

Keith Packard showed (screenshots in one of his interviews on osnews.com) that something like Expose can be done with his new Damage and Composer X Server extensions.

My guess is that once this extensions become available on common X Server installations, necessary KDE control features will be available from KDE.
