Good idea! However, I don't have xfwm4 installed ATM and I fear some loss of
KDE-ness functionality.
I dug up the KDE compliance matrix for the standard and found out that the wm
relies on individual windows identifying themselves as dock or panel windows
with a "_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL" property or a "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE" of "DOCK"
or similar (see
http://freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec/index.html#NETWMSTRUTPARTIAL)
The question now is: How do I set these properties on a particular window?
Regards,
Michael
