OK, you've got me all confused here.
The main purpose of mouse gesture applications is to invoke command on given
gesture.

The course of events with e.g. EasyStroke is:
1) detect mouse gesture trigger
2) recognize gesture
3) execute the associated shell command

The only reason you would want KWin involved is to:
1) detect window below the point where gesture has started (so you could have
the ability for different mouse buttons to invoke gestures while over different
window classes)
2) input text/"paste" it on the window

The first is an excellent feature but it was never implemented in Plasma (X11).
The latter is, from my understanding, very hard if not impossible to implement
in Wayland. But, given the maturity of Klipper and its further development and
the fact that it is not a feature heavily used, it might be as well dropped for
now.
