to be avoided. It also updates nicely. Just move kicker from the
bottom to the left, say, and open a new window. It doesn't cover
kicker. Maximise. Still doesn't cover. Seems to work, then.

which want to be permanently visible.
I've used an XAtom called '_NET_AVOID_SPEC'. This of course can change
if need be. I think it's correct according to the wm spec, but the
wm spec seems to be empty on gnome.org, so who knows.
Windows can choose to be avoided by setting an XTextProperty
with one value, which can be either 'N', 'S', 'E', or 'W', according
to which screen edge they are anchored to.
kwin then sets its 'clientArea' rect appropriately, so that (in
theory at least) clients will not enter this area in some circumstances,
such as when being mapped for the first time.
You can see that this actually works if you start lots of konsoles. They
don't appear over the panel. I don't know what happens if you move the
panel, but I presume things will be screwed up, because I haven't
looked at that yet.
If you maximise a window, it'll still fill the screen, because the
implementation of maximise in kwin/client.cpp doesn't take account
of the workspace's clientArea rect. This is easy to fix, but I've
been awake for too long, so I'll do it after 42 winks.

and it kept segfaulting because I wasn't releasing windows, and b) The plugins
didn't want to resolve anything in the kwin executable, only to the other
libs. I finally solved this by using -rdynamic in kwin's LDFLAGS, which I hope
is okay ;-)

"Mouse emulation" (defaults to F12 currently) provides mouse emulation with
[Ctrl|Alt]-ArrowKeys. Unfortunatly, dragging isn't (technically) possible with
X, but at least normal clicks work with Space or Return.

compared to smart placement. Whatever. Some people want it
smart placement made smarter (just a bit) and faster (just a bit)
Qt is a marvel. kwin is even better than kwm. KDE is amazing :-) You know
who I am now, even if I don't sign.

One 'if' gets a bad turn. But commit it 'cause I'm reknown for doing stupid
things with unbacked-up code. Matthias, I managed to reduce all from
175 to 125 lines and from 4740 chars to 3260. This is what you wanted?
Don't worry, kwin compiles and works as before.

unfortunately, i'm not 100% that the way i did it was the "proper" way. it
works, but it might not be the best way to do it. matthias, et al,
definitely need to take a look at it!
