KWin does two noticible things for KDE:

Draws the frame around a window and allows you to move windows
Implements the GUI Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Tab popups.

That's it.

Beryl implements those things itself. So when you run them in place of
KWin, it works just fine. Just like it works just fine in place of
Metacity.
