Yes, it installs with all these effects, but for example, you have to turn on "wobbly windows" in setting manager because they are turned off by default, also I have set up those big icons on desktop (but only the looks and links). There are lots of options to set up everything as you like, but everything is preinstalled.
Don't really understand the Q, yes you can run gnome (desktop environment) in Kubuntu, but you have to download it additionally, so instead you can use Ubuntu (witch has gnome preinstalled). Kubuntu = KDE, Ubuntu = Gnome DE. And both systems are built on the same base - Debian, so they use *.deb packages.
you are part of the developing team?
It looks awesome btw, split view for example and, of course, the effects :)

I try Kubuntu 8.4 but i was confuse because i use Ubuntu so yea but i heard 4.2 is much better. im going to try it again.
Is there any benefit over Ubuntu?
if it just looks good and demands more resources that means is wasting more electricity right?

Who cares about electric? Seriously, it's actually using the exact same resources ubuntu needs by default.
