Even with the usual bottom position of the panel, the position of kickoff's
"back" button in KDE4.2 is a regression.

When I first saw kickoff some years ago, I thought "hm, i can only see one menu
level at a time and need to use a "back" button. That will make navigating back
and forth slow". Then, I saw Aaron's talk at some aKademy and he was talking
about how he was a sensitive man and knew all about sweet spots. And as an
example, he showed, that the large vertical back button in kickoff was aligned
with the screen edge and this made it very easy to hit. Then I thought: "Wow,
clever, that speeds up navigation, now I can really like kickoff". And with
KDE4.1 I was happy. Now, in KDE4.2, theres a border frame around kickoff, which
kills the idea. The button is no longer aligned with the screen edge, I have to
slowly aim at it, instead of just flicking the mouse to the edge. And I'm sad.
